Inhaltsangabe

The work of historians has recently uncovered the great variety of Newton's work from mathematics to theology, from mechanics to music and from optics to alchemy. A major theme of this book is to explore these diverse facets and to show through examining our knowledge of their social context how they were all components of one person's work. The book assesses how Newton came to influence posterity so profoundly.
