Coffee with Isaac Newton
Author(s): Michael White
Sir Isaac Newton formulated the concept of gravity, devised a radically new theory of light, and created a calculus that revolutionized mathematics. Join him for a mind-expanding tour of the principles of modern science! You'll discover that there was far more to Sir Isaac than his great discoveries. Michael White, author of an award-winning biography of Newton, captures the essence of this prickly genius.
Product Information
A fictionalised interview with one of the greatest scientific minds in history. The man who invented the cat flap, the slightly smaller cat flap, and superstitiously claimed there were 7 colours in the visible spectrum because 6 is an unlucky number. Oh and I usppose there was the whole gravity thing too if you want to focus on that. - Ciaran, The Book Grocer
