A good case can be made for Isaac Newton being the finest mindhumanity has yet produced. His theory of gravity offered hiscontemporaries their first glimpse of how the universe actuallyworks, and his mathematics enabled later generations to walk on themoon. Today, we know that gravity keeps our feet on the ground, buthow many of us know how Newton's greatest discovery really works?In Newton Gravity, Paul Strathern encapsulates several ofNewton's more mind-expanding discoveries, explaining in livelyprose their cultural context as well as Newton's early obsessionwith science (bordering on dementia) that made his revolutionaryvision possible. Just a few of the big ideas covered hereare: Newton's discovery of calculus at age twenty-three Why gravity, one of the greatest human insights of all time, wasin fact a hunch and how it actually works Why it took Newton twenty years after his discovery to reveal tothe world the secret of gravity and planetary motion Ideal for the intelligen

We may know that Einstein was the epitome of genius, but howmany of us know what his theory really means, and what itsrealistic implications are? Einstein and Relativity presents adistillation of Einstein's life and work within their historicaland scientific contexts; and offers a truly accessible explanationof the concept that shaped the twentieth century. Just a few of thebig ideas covered here are Einstein's discovery that light is botha particle and a wave; how Einstein proved the existence ofmolecules; why there is no such thing as real time; and howEinstein's brilliance led to his worst nightmare - the atombomb.

Starred Review。 What Aczel did for mathematician Fermat（Fermat’s Last Theorem）he now does for Descartes in this splendidstudy about the French philosopher and mathematician （1596–1650）most famous for his paradigm-smashing declaration， “I think;therefore， I am。” Part historical sketch， part biography and partdetective story， Aczel’s chronicle of Descartes’s hidden workhinges on his lost secret notebook。 Of 16 pages of codedmanu*， one and a half were copied in 1676 by fellowphilosopher and mathematician Leibniz。 For him， Descartes’sin*ion of the cryptic letters“GFRC” immediately revealed hisassociation with the occult fraternity of the Rosicrucians—Leibnizwas also a member。 The notebook also revealed to Leibniz adiscovery made by Descartes that would have transformedmathematics。 As Aczel so deftly demonstrates， Descartes'smathematical theories were paths to an understanding the order andmystery of the cosmos， and he kept the notebook hidden because itcont
