Isaac the Alchemist

Secrets of Isaac Newton, Reveal'd

De: Mary Losure

Narrado por: Steven Crossley

Before Isaac Newton became the father of physics, an accomplished mathematician, or a leader of the scientific revolution, he was a boy living in an apothecary's house, observing and experimenting, recording his observations of the world in a tiny notebook. As a young genius living in a time before science as we know it existed, Isaac studied the few books he could get his hands on, built handmade machines, and experimented with alchemy, a process of chemical reactions that seemed (at the time) to be magical. Mary Losure's riveting narrative nonfiction account of Isaac's early life traces his development as a thinker from his childhood in friendly prose that will capture the attention of today's budding scientists - as if by magic.

Such an enjoyable story to follow! We listened to this on a road trip (2 parents and our 12yo) and it was a delight we all enjoyed! A biography that vividly and enjoyably depicts the person, influences and development of Isaac Newton.
