    Isaac Newton

    By
    James Gleick

    Isaac Newton was born in a stone farmhouse in 1642, fatherless and
    unwanted by his mother. When he died in London in 1727 he was so
    renowned he was given a state funeral--an unheard-of honor for a
    subject whose achievements were in the realm of the intellect.
    During the years he was an irascible presence at Trinity College,
    Cambridge, Newton imagined properties of nature and gave them
    names--mass, gravity, velocity--things our science now takes for
    granted. Inspired by Aristotle, spurred on by Galileo's discoveries
    and the philosophy of Descartes, Newton grasped the intangible and
    dared to take its measure, a leap of the mind unparalleled in his
    generation. James Gleick, the author of Chaos and Genius, and one
    of the most acclaimed science writers of his generation, brings the
    reader into Newton's reclusive life and provides startlingly clear
    explanations of the concepts that changed forever our perception of
    bodies, rest, and motion--ideas so basic to the twenty-first century, it
    can truly be said: We are all Newtonians.
