David Berlinski points out that his Newton鈥檚 Gift is not a biography of the
great scientist. But it is Newton brought to life. You step through its pages
into his mind, his contemporary scene, its intellectual ferment, squalor,
politics and academic rivalries, while the staggering leaps of Newton鈥檚
understanding are superbly described. Published by Free Press, $24, ISBN
