[Michael Treiman · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's fascinating how Newton was so spot on about some things, and so wrong about others. One of the theses of this book is that Newtonianism both benefitted and held back the progress of chemistry in different ways. I like it, but some of the sections are a bit dull. I suppose that's what I should expect from an old history book.
