Let Newton Be! (the title comes from a famous couplet by Alexander Pope) explores the many facets of Newton's life, labors, and legacy. Incorporating much new evidence about Newton uncovered in the last two decades, the contributors examine Newton's work in mathematics and optics, his secret experiments with alchemy, his unconventional religious views, the negative reaction to his work (as seen, for instance, in the poetry of William Blake), and his legacy for modern science. Richly illustrated, vividly written, and based on the latest scholarship, Let Newton Be! offers an absorbing introduction to Britain's greatest scientist as well as a fascinating study in the history of ideas.Hide synopsis

The work of historians has recently uncovered the great variety of Newton's work from mathematics to theology, from mechanics to music and from optics to alchemy. A major theme of this book is to explore these diverse facets and to show through examining our knowledge of their social context how they were all components of one person's work.
