James Gleick is definitely fascinated by the making of science -- how ideas order noticeable appearances, how equations can provide meaning to molecular and stellar phenomena, how theories can transform whatever we see. In Chaos, he chronicled the emergence of a new way of looking at dynamic systems; in Genius, he portrayed the wondrous dimensions of Richard Feymnan's mind. Now, in Isaac Newton, he gives us the storyline of the scientist who, most importantly others, embodied humanity's quest to unveil the hidden forces that constitute the physical world.With this original, sweeping, and intimate biography, Gleick moves between a thorough historical portrait and a dramatic give attention to Newton's significant letters and unpublished notebooks to illuminate the true need for his work in physics, in optics, and in calculus. He makes us see the old intuitive, alchemical universe out which Newton's mathematics first arose and shows us how Newton's ideas have altered all varieties of understanding from history to philosophy. And he gives us a moving account of the conflicting impulses that pulled as of this man's heart: his quiet longings, his rage, his secrecy, the extraordinary subtleties of your personality that were mirrored in the invisible forces he first identified as the inspiration of science. More than biography, more than history, more than science, Isaac Newton tells us how, through your brain of one man, we have come to learn our place in the cosmos.Read by Allan Couruner.
