Isaac Newton

Super Scientists are first biographies introducing some of the world's great scientists, simply retelling their lives and explaining why their work was important.

Illustrated with archive images and photographs, the chronology of each lifetime is emphasised by a timeline that runs through the book.

Isaac Newton tells the story of this key scientific figure - covering his origins as the son of a farmer through his work in mechanics, optics and mathematics, his famous gravitational studies, and his enduring legacy today.
