Interview: Best Books on Sir Isaac Newton

[Paul Ferguson]

"John Maynard Keynes famously cast Isaac Newton not as the first scientist of the age of reason, but the last of the magicians.

William Newman talks us through the best books for a better understanding of the complex man who was one of the greatest physicists of all time."
