DESCRIPTION:
"Best "short" book about Newton" according to CP. This book about Newton's life was an awesome read. First, not to long, only 91 pages on Kindle, and after I was finally able to understand where to find the book (not an avid Kindle user) I was able to finish it in one sitting.

I personally feel like that would help me remember Newton's life more, and that right there

His laws of motion and gravity laid the foundations for the entire discipline of physics, and his work on optics, color, thermodynamics, and the speed of sound greatly advanced their respective fields. In this compact, highly readable biography, Alexander Kennedy chronicles Newton in all his paradoxical glory: his insights along with his superstitions, his stinginess and cruelty along with his great gifts to the human race. As Kennedy describes Newton’s penetrating experiments into the physical world, the reader comes to understand why Alexander Pope once wrote of this Father of Modern Science: “Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night/ God said, ‘Let Newton be!’ and all was light”"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” - Isaac NewtonBuy Now to Discover:The wager that led to the most importa
