Customer Reviews

Interesting, educational and fun.

My 8 year old son and I have really enjoyed this book. It's a wonderful combination of history, math and science and how they related in Newton's time and influence our own. You'll learn about everyone from Aristotle to Einstein, how they influenced Isaac Newton and how he influenced those that followed. The concepts are presented in a simplified but not condescending manner with lots of funny cartoons and illustrations. I am truly impressed with the level of detail and amount of information presented in this fun book. FYI, you may find yourself translating a bit of British English for your kids now and then but that can be fun, too! I plan to look for more by this author!
