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.
