Synopsis: Read this book and you'll know more science than Isaac Newton did. And since Newton was one of the smartest humans ever, that's saying something. Like all good scientists, Newton understood that he was involved in a quest that can never be finished. He knew that his work would get trimmed and topped. Artists and literary figures don't think like that. No one wants to change or add to Shakespeare. But science keeps building, and when new blocks are put in place, that often means throwing out the old or adapting it before heading on--to new heights. So there's nothing dull or static about science's story. It's a tale of exploration, one that will stretch your mind to its limits.
