Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Newton was a man who changed our view of the world and set us on the path to modern science. He was not a boy genius, like Mozart, but rather a man who was taught and encouraged by a talented father.

#2 Isaac Newton was born in 1642. He was named after his father, a prosperous yeoman farmer who had died three months earlier. The baby was premature, tiny, and sickly. He did not have a good relationship with his grandmother, and he was left out of his grandfather’s will.

#3 Newton was a student at the University of Cambridge from 1661 to 1665. He was made a fellow of Trinity College in 1667, and in 1672 he published Light and Colours, which described his theories on those subjects. In 1675, he published his Hypothesis Explaining the Properties of Light.

#4 Newton was a very private person, and he did not participate in university affairs. However, he did write letters to support the Christian religion and defend it against infidels. He had a mental breakdown in 1693, but recovered and continued his various activities.
