Aneel reviewed Isaac Newton by James Gleick
Review of 'Isaac Newton' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A very interesting portrait. It spends a lot of time on the obsessive, anti-social aspects of Newton's personality: his feuds with Hooke and Liebniz, his delving into theology, his alchemical researches, his sulking refusal to publish his research in a venue that would provide criticism. Engaging. A surprisingly quick read.
