Isaac Newton was born in a stone farmhouse in 1642, fatherless and unwanted by his mother. When he died in London in 1727 he was so renowned he was given a state funeral—an unheard-of honor for a subject whose achievements were in the realm of the intellect. During the years he was an irascible presence at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton imagined properties of nature and gave them names—mass, gravity, velocity—things our science now takes for granted. Inspired by Aristotle, spurred on by Galileo’s discoveries and the philosophy of Descartes, Newton grasped the intangible and dared to take its measure, a leap of the mind unparalleled in his generation.James Gleick, the author of Chaos and Genius, and one of the most acclaimed science writers of his generation, brings the reader into Newton’s reclusive life and provides startlingly clear explanations of the concepts that changed forever our perception of bodies, rest, and motion—ideas so basic to the twenty-first century, it can truly be said: We are all Newtonians.

Newton's life is obviously of monumental importance. That, combined with Gleick's ability as a storyteller, makes for a compelling read.Still, what kept this book from being fully satisfactory to me was Gleick's fascination with drama and controversy. He often would lead up to some quotation from Newton by saying that the latter "raged," along with a few other synonyms to make sure we get the point. The result is an over-dramatic lead-in to the quotation. I am thinking particularly about Newton's debates with Robert Hooke. Yes, Newton had a bit of a temper when he was criticized. Point taken. But do we need three sentences to tell us, in various ways, that Newton was angry? I would have preferred some sort of discussion about why Newton might have been that way, as indeed many scholars are today. Some of the fiercest dialogues occur between great intellects who disagree on some topic. I know someone who threw a book against a wall because of the way it understood the Greek verb...Gleick also begins his book by saying that Newton didn't believe his "standing on the shoulders of giants" quotation. When he got to that point in the book, I wasn't entirely convinced that Newton was being sarcastic, as argued. However, it did seem that he was going out of his way to justify himself ("If I have seen further" ... and I have). To begin the book with a point that seems disputable, I think, reveals Gleick's over-the-top fascination with drama and controversy.My verdict: If you want an intellectually stimulating life of Newton, look elsewhere. If you want a brief, dramatic, and at times fascinating portrait, you'll enjoy this one just fine.
