Newton's rainbow : the revolutionary discoveries of a young scientist

Lasky, Kathryn (author.). Hawkes, Kevin, (illustrator.).

Summary: Famed for his supposed encounter with a falling apple that inspired his theory of gravity, Isaac Newton (1642-1727) grew from a quiet and curious boy into one of the most influential scientists of all time. As depicted in this colorful biography, young Isaac was always reading, questioning, observing, and inventing. He eventually made his way to Cambridge University, where he studied the earlier scientists and began building on their accomplishments. When a bubonic plague outbreak interrupted his formal schooling in 1665 he made discoveries that illuminated the mysteries of gravity, motion, and even rainbows - giving mankind a new understanding of the natural world that changed science forever. -- from dust jacket.
