Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Unknown to all but a few, Newton was a practicing alchemist who dabbled in the occult, a tortured, obsessive character who searched for an understanding of the universe by whatever means possible. Sympathetic yet balanced, Michael White's Isaac Newton offers a revelatory picture of a genius who stood at the point in history where magic ended and science began.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [363]-385) and index.
