Krátký popis
Isaac Newton (1642-1727), the English genius, made his greatest
contributions to original thought before the age of twenty-five,
while at home in Lincolnshire escaping the great plague of 1665, a
period of which he wrote: ''I was in the prime of age for
invention.'' Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, an MP, Master
of the Mind and President of the Royal Society, Newton, the author
of Principia, one of the most important books in the history of
science, was fascinated by calculus, the planets and the ''laws of
motion'', and, in keeping with his age, blurred the borders between
natural philosophy and speculation: he was as passionate about
astrology as astronomy and dabbled in alchemy, while his religious
faith was never undermined by his scientific reasoning.Peter
Ackroyd brings this somewhat puritanical man to life and
demonstrates the unique brilliance of his perceptions, which
changed our world forever.
