“I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.”

― Isaac Newton

He is most remembered for his biographical account of Isaac Newton and a work, ‘More Worlds than One’ which explored the possibility of multiple universes.

 

In addition to the early events of Newton’s life, Brewster covers Newton’s mathematical and astronomical experiments in “The Life of Sir Isaac Newton”.  This book details Newton’s first telescope construction, developing better astronomical technology, philosophies, and theories on behavior of light, and a chronology of Newton’s works.
