Summary

Isaac Newton’s main body of work was as a physicist and mathematician. He was a part of a scientific revolution in the 17th century, which would fundamentally change the way that people would see the world. 

In the field of optics, he would advance our understanding of light and how we saw it. In mechanics, he would create his famous three laws of motion, but it’s in physics that he became most well-known for his understanding of gravity and in mathematics, for his discovery of calculus and writing, perhaps, the single most important scientific book of all-time, the Principia, which is still referenced today.

Inside, you will find chapters on:

  • Born into Tragedy
  • His Life in Cambridge
  • The Start of His Genius
  • The Birth of Calculus
  • Newton Invents a New Telescope
  • His Famous Work on Light and Color
  • Newton and His Rivals
  • The Most Important Science Book of All Time
  • The Principia
  • The Apple Myth
  • Newton’s Dark Obsessions
  • Newton the Man and His Later Life
  • Newton the Hangman
  • Newton’s Weird and Wonderful Personality
  • His Final Years
  • Newton’s Legacy
  • The Strengths and Weaknesses of Sir Isaac Newton
  • How Can We Use Newton’s Strengths in Our Lives?

Poorly editted

Constantly repeating information. Poor narrator. Feels like listening to a book written by a computer.
