Publisher's Synopsis
Illustrated with letters, journals, photographs, and more, Levy’s close look into the life of Newton includes his personal relationships, his schooling and work among colleagues, and his lasting legacy to science. Each spread is a self-contained story or anecdote, revealing some specific event in the scientist’s life. Newton’s Notebook is bound like a personal journal, giving it the custom feel of a personal possession, and better than any biography, reveals the whole scope of Newton’s life and times.
