Newton's Notebook

The Life, Times and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton

Joel Levy
Brought up  by his grandparents on their Woolsthorpe estate, the young Isaac Newton struggled academically and socially and seemed destined for a future running the family farm, but beneath the restrictions of the curriculum a precocious intellect was slowly developing. Presented as if it were a notebook, with quotes, diagrams and photographs, Joel Levy’s biography sheds light on Newton’s life and discoveries and the impact of his ideas.

Product information
Full publisher description
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.
