Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life of the great 19th-century British scientist, thinker, polymath, inventor, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, theologian, astrologer, and author Sir Isaac Newton. The author draws on Newton's voluminous writings and correspondence in addition to years of research and expertise to build an unprecedented portrait of the scientist as a man. This book uncovers the complexities of Newton, who, alongside his groundbreaking discoveries in science, held unorthodox religious views, dabbled in alchemy, and was deeply engaged in the study of ancient texts. At the heart of this biography is a nuanced exploration of the delicate relationship between science and religion. The author presents a holistic view of one of history's most influential minds and reveals both the genius and the idiosyncrasies of the man behind the scientific revolution.
