dreck,
By Caraculiambro (La Mancha and environs) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isaac Newton (Paperback)
I completely hated this book.
I gave it more than a chance, reading it patiently all the way nearly to the end. But it simply wasn't what I wanted. I wanted a straightforward biography of Newton: this book instead focuses not on the development of optics and the calculus, but rather on Newton's dabblings into mystical arcana, such as secret Biblical messages and alchemy. A good biography of Newton wouldn't shy away from mentioning this, but since those things are hardly why Newton is famous it seems inappropriate that they should form the chief emphasis of a biography of him, as they do here. If you're looking for a biography of Newton that more or less tells it like it is, don't buy this. Go elsewhere. |
