Title: A superb biography of Isaac newton
Review: This book is a detailed and wide ranging biography of Isaac Newton. Though long (908 pages), the writing is crisp and precise. There is sufficient detail here that justifies the subject. Isaac Newton was arguably the greatest mathematician that ever lived except perhaps for Mersene. Every aspect of Newton's life is described in good detail. There is enough mathematics here to justify the biographical needs and to interest the reader to explore further. If you wish to get more of Newton's mathematics I recommend his Principia which is still a good read.All in all this book is excellent. The nature and scope of the subject matter demands that the book be long. But the time and effort spent will be richly rewarded.
