Newton's Notebook : The Life, Times and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton

Newton's Notebook is a biography with a difference. It provides a full and detailed account of Sir Isaac Newton's life and discoveries, but is written, designed and illustrated to look like a personal notebook. By mining the rich sources of Newton's own journals and books, and incorporating a variety of quotations and illustrations, Newton's Notebook brings its subject to life more vividly than any ordinary biography. It reveals the man behind the theories and examines Newton's personal and family life as well as the amazing impact of his ideas and the world's reaction to them.
