Product Description
Product Description
You've probably heard of Isaac Newton. He is dead famous for: discovering gravity, being a right clever dick and getting hit on the head with an apple. But have you heard that Isaac: came bottom of the class at school, poked sticks in his eye and nearly blinded himself and nearly got himself executed?
From the Author
The science genius who took on the underworld
When I was researching this book I was amazed to find there was a lot more to Isaac Newton than just being hit on the head with an apple! Did you know he used to shove pointed sticks into his eyeballs to see what happened? At school he scrunched the bully's face into a church wall, later on he fell out with almost everybody he met, some of his experiments bordered on witchcraft and he personally signed many criminal's death warrants...and there's lots more all in this book. Amoungst all the other gruesome facts, there's newpaper reports on the plague, the great fire of London and the executions of the time, plus a simple step by step guide to Newton's greatest discoveries inclucing Calculus, Gravity and Colours. This book (illustrated with loads of superb pictures and cartoon strips by the excellent Philip Reeve ) provides a gory, fascinating and fact-packed read for anyone aged 9 to 99.
