Lissa Notreallywolf’s Reviews > The Clockwork Universe: Isaac Newton, the Royal Society, and the Birth of the Modern World > Status Update

This is an introductory text in the history of science, and I appreciate the refresher course, and his presumption that the reader has no grasp of mathematics. At the same time I am frustrated by the numbr of old chestnuts it hands down, like rats were the vector for the Bubonic plague which was the Black Death. In other words it digests a lot of old scholarship and preserves the lionization of Newton.
