rif. 418294Princeton University Press. Hardcover. Fair. Isaac Newton's Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended published in 1728 one year after the great man's death unleashed a storm of controversy. And for good reason. The book presents a drastically revised timeline for ancient civilizations contracting Greek history by five hundred years and Egypt's by a millennium. Newton and the Origin of Civilization tells the story of how one of the most celebrated figures in the history of mathematics optics and mechanics came to apply his unique ways of thinking to problems of history theology and mythology and of how his radical ideas produced an uproar that reverberated in Europe's learned circles throughout the eighteenth century and beyond.

rif. A9780226078861Paperback / softback. New. "No one interested in the history of optics the history of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century physics or the general phenomenon of theory change in science can afford to ignore Jed Buchwald's well-structured highly detailed and scrupulously researched book. . . . Buchwald's analysis will surely constitute the essential starting point for further work on this important and hitherto relatively neglected episode of theory change."-John Worrall Isis paperback

rif. A9780691287782Hardback. New. An intellectual biography of the seventeenth-century masterwork that set down the laws of motion and universal gravitation and ushered in modern physics Long regarded as one of the most important works in the history of science Isaac Newton’s Principia laid the mathematical foundations of classical mechanics planetary motion and the laws of gravity. Jed Buchwald and Mordechai Feingold trace the long wandering path by which these groundbreaking ideas took shape—beginning with the brilliant insights of a newly minted Cambridge BA and culminating in the publication of Newton’s magnum opus in 1687. Drawing on fresh insights from Newton’s manuscripts and related documents Buchwald and Feingold situate him firmly within the vibrant scientific milieu of mid-seventeenth-century Cambridge. They explore the interactions with mentors and other contemporaries emphasizing Newton’s distinctive approach to linking motion with the emerging new mathematics of the era. What develops is a portrait of a restless young scholar prone to diving deep into a subject only to lose interest until a letter a conversation or a visit would rekindle his interest. For nearly two decades prior to Edmond Halley’s pivotal visit in 1684 Newton engaged only sporadically with celestial mechanics. In a narrative of fits and starts Buchwald and Feingold show how inspired or assisted by figures such as Isaac Barrow Robert Hooke John Flamsteed and Halley Newton gradually refined his ideas into what would become one of the most revolutionary books ever written. hardcover
