Isaac Newton was always a loner, preferring to spend his time contemplating the mysteries of the universe. When the plague broke out in London in 1665 he was forced to return home from college. It was during this period of so much death, that Newton gave life to some of the most important theories in modern science, including gravity and the laws of motion.

Who Was Isaac Newton?

网友对Who Was Isaac Newton?的评论

This is an excellent series of biographies for children. Full of interesting facts, easy and enjoyable to read, and great for whetting the appetite to read further. It is just a pity that there isn't a UK equivalent series, I can think of lots more people that it would be nice to read about. The whole format is very attractive and the books bring the people to life. My grandchildren, ranging fro 8 to 11 all love them, and so do I !!!

My son and I both enjoyed it. It also opened door to reading about other scientists from that era. I liked that the book shone light on Newton's personality, something that I was not aware of or thought about before. I like the book series in general.

The book not only teaches but also traps the reader. It gives kids a big picture of Newton's discoveries and of his time. I highly recommend it.
