A Giant on the Shoulders of Giants,
By A Customer
This review is from: Isaac Newton: The Greatest Scientist of All Time (Great Minds of Science) (Library Binding)
This non-fiction book is interestingly written with details from Newton's childhood and adult life. He said, "If I have seen further than most men, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." The author spends much of the first chapter discussing how the writings of these giants, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Descartes, influenced Newton.Boys who are into building models will delight in the model of a windmill that young was powered by a treadmill run by a mouse. He used his model-building experience later in life when he built a reflecting telescope. The final chapter contains a few experiments for the budding young scientist. Upper elementary aged students will be inspired by Newton's dedication to science and mathematics. |
