straight to the point, nice illustrations and very enjoyable (probably because it’s so understandable, which let’s be real newton’s work is not, so love this!!)

So good to get a snapshot of Newton and all he achieved for science. Love the layout of the book to help my small brain keep up 👍🏼

I may not agree with the concepts of half-a-minute explanation as I believe ideas should take much more time than that to be appreciated. Nevertheless, I found this book in the university's library, and decided to read it because of its illustrations. :D
