"This Very Short Introduction provides a rich and up-to-date account of Newton's life and work. Explaining his scientific discoveries, revealing the forces that shaped his thinking, and tackling his astonishingly radical theology and controversial beliefs, Rob Iliffe paints a picture of an extremely complex man - who we now know devoted more time to the study of alchemy and theology than to rational science - and whose beliefs had a huge impact on Europe's political, intellectual, and religious landscape."-BOOK JACKET.
