Book Description
Isaac Newton is best known for his theories of motion and gravitation. These laws served as the foundation of science for the past three hundred years. In addition, using a prism, Newton first discovered the that sunlight is actually made up of light rays of many different colors. Among his other discoveries is the branch of mathematics called calculus.

Book Description
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. Inside you will read about... 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? The Best Books on Isaac Newton And much more! 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 his writing perhaps the single most important scientific book of all-time, the 'Principia' which is still referenced today. Albert Einstein was an outstanding physician and mathematician of the 20th century. He was a pure genius who created a formula that would build a bomb capable of killing thousands at a time. Albert learned to play the violin. He could play a few notes on the piano or the violin, and then he would jot down notes on some theory. Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. Inside you will read about... A Genius Shows Up with a Deformed Head The Odd Shaped Head Starts to Read Einstein Had A "Miracle Year" Einstein Finds He Has Enemies Albert Had His Problems Too Did Einstein Have a 3rd Son? You Decide The End is Soon to Come What Exactly Was the Legacy of Einstein? And much more! As far as the way he lived his life, well, read on, and you be the judge to see if you think he had a full and happy life. Einstein's story awaits you on the pages ahead.

Book Description
One of the greatest thinkers of all time, Isaac Newton gave the world an accurate understanding of forces and motion throughout the universe. He went to college but learned much about science on his own, by observing, experimenting, and thinking carefully. Newton's laws of motion explain, in a few sentences, how and why things move, or don't move, when forces act on them. He also studied and described gravity and the makeup of light, and he created a kind of math known today as calculus. For more information, read Forces and Motion, another book in the Mission Science series.

Book Description
Newton is widely considered in history as the most influential scientist. He is best known for his discovery of gravity and the subsequent laws of motion that he meticulously theorized. School children around the world are acquainted with the popular legend about an apple falling on Newton’s head which led to the famous discovery of gravity. However that colourful story and the preoccupation with Newton’s work in physics tends to make people forget Newton’s work in other fields. This biography captures both the personal life as well as the career of Isaac Newton devoted entirely to scientific pursuit. It presents a complete picture of Newton the man, the scientist, the philosopher, the theologian and the public figure. Newton was very religious, and intently studied the Bible and even occult practices and theories. Newton wrote at length on these subjects, which fascinated him so much that he spent more time writing about them than he did science and mathematics. This biography is an interesting journey through his life shedding light on a personality which towers the scientific world to this day.

Book Description
Already famous throughout Europe for his theories of planetary motion and gravity, Isaac Newton decided to take on the job of running the Royal Mint. And there, Newton became drawn into a battle with William Chaloner, the most skilful of counterfeiters, a man who not only got away with faking His Majesty's coins (a crime that the law equated with treason), but was trying to take over the Mint itself. But Chaloner had no idea who he was taking on. Newton pursued his enemy with the cold, implacable logic that he brought to his scientific research. Set against the backdrop of early eighteenth-century London with its sewers running down the middle of the streets, its fetid rivers, its packed houses, smoke and fog, its industries and its great port, this dark tale of obsession and revenge transforms our image of Britain's greatest scientist.
