One of the greatest scientific minds of the past 500 years, Sir Isaac Newton laid the groundwork for the theory of gravity and the laws of motion. This volume, dedicated to his life and work, goes beyond the biography of a great, and sometimes controversial, man. It also addresses the lives of others who influenced and were influenced by his findings. Additionally, it explores and explains the science at the heart of his work and how we continue to study it today.

      Gr 6-8-Though these tales of scientific discovery can easily be found elsewhere, here they are presented in lucid but nontechnical language, placed into historical and scientific context, and enhanced with detailed biographies of the scientists associated with them. In DNA, for instance, Rosalind Franklin is mentioned even before Francis Crick (with a rare color photo). Similarly, in Big Bang Theory, the effects of Hubble's insight are carried through to the proposed existence of "dark energy," and Bortz's account of Mendel's work concludes with the recent mapping of the human genome and a discussion of genetic engineering. Period photos or images add helpful visual notes, and the back matter includes annotated lists of scientific organizations as well as time lines and lists of print resources.
