A View of Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy
Henry Pemberton and Richard Glover
Newton's Principia was famously hard, so Henry Pemberton, who edited it, wrote this friendlier view for the rest of us. He explains the laws of motion, centripetal forces, and the grand system of the world in accessible prose. A trusted early guide to the ideas that reshaped science, from a man who knew Newton himself. Grasp the great theory without the mathematics.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
