Newton's Tyranny

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Clark, David H. / Clark, Stephen H. P. / Clark, Stephen P. H., PUBLISHER: W.H. Freeman & Company, One of ong>theong> great figures in history, Sir Isaac Newton personifies ong>theong> triumph of scientific reason over ignorance. Yet for all his contributions to ong>theong> Enlightenment, Newton was a deeply complex man who sometimes aggressively tried to obscure ong>theong> intellectual achievements of oong>theong>rs of oong>theong>rs. Newton's Tyranny is ong>theong> story of two men who felt ong>theong> full wrath of ong>theong> great man's hostility-ong>theong> Reverend John Flamsteed, ong>theong> first Astronomer Royal, and Stephen Gray, a humble dyer and amateur scientist. United not only by a love of science, but by a bitter and protracted conflict with Newton, ong>theong> two men made significant contributions to science despite ong>theong> observational astronomy and navigation. Drawing upon letters and historical documents, Newton's Tyranny vividly recreates ong>theong> British scientific community of ong>theong> early 18th century. It was an era of great achievement, but ong>theong> crucible of science was often heated by Machiavellian intrigue, uncontrollable ambition, and larger-than-life personalities. Against this dramatic setting, ong>theong> saga of Newton, Flamsteed and Gray unfolds, a story of loyalty and commitment against great odds. A fascinating look at a forgotten piece of science history, Newton's Tyranny exposes ong>theong> dark side of flawed genius while celebrating ong>theong> ultimate triumph of two unsung heroes.
