Críticas
Nielsen BookData
<br>"Lavish, lively...educates us in the manifold, particular, and paradoxical ways of genius. In the presence of these extraordinary documents, the work of Newton's skilled hands and speeding, inspired intellect, it would be easy to do what so many writers did in the eighteenth century: to treat Newton himself as more than human, as someone who stood above the conflicts of his own time, one who simply saw farther and worked on a higher level than his contemporaries, and achieved what he did unaided by ordinary mortals.
