Description

A surprising true story of Isaac Newton’s boyhood suggests an intellectual development owing as much to magic as science.

Before Isaac Newton become the daddy of physics, an accomplished mathematician, or a leader of the scientific revolution, he used to be a boy living in an apothecary’s house, observing and experimenting, recording his observations of the world in a tiny notebook. As a young genius living in a time before science as we comprehend it existed, Isaac studied the few books he could get his hands on, built handmade machines, and experimented with alchemy—a process of chemical reactions that gave the impression, on the time, to be magical. Mary Losure’s riveting narrative nonfiction account of Isaac’s early life traces his development as a thinker from his childhood, in friendly prose so as to capture the eye of nowadays’s budding scientists—as if by magic. Back matter includes an afterword, an creator’s note, source notes, a bibliography, and an index.
