Title: This was a pleasure of a book to read
Review: I just finished reading a terrific book (Joel Hayward, FOR GOD AND GLORY) that conveyed the full richness of Lord Nelson's life in a mere 250 pages. Now I read this jewel of a book on Issac Newton that also "brings it home" in only a few hundred pages. I wish all scholars learned this technique: say what's important, don't say what's not, give some original insights, and wrap up with a strong, even-handed and thoughtful conclusion.I applaud the author of this book, which has made science interesting and scienTISTS, widely considered boring and bookish, even more interesting. Newton's genius shines out from every well-written page. What a great man. Newton and Einstein are the Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing of science!
