Out of the Shadow of a Giant : How Newton Stood on the Shoulders of Hooke and Halley eAudiobook MP3
by John Gribbin, Mary Gribbin
Narrated by Peter Noble
eAudiobook MP3
Description
Shortlisted for the BSHS Hughes PrizeWhat if Isaac Newton had never lived?Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose place in history has been overshadowed by the giant figure of Newton, were pioneering scientists within their own right, and instrumental in establishing the Royal Society.Whilst Newton is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time, and the father of the English scientific revolution, John and Mary Gribbin uncover the fascinating story of Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose scientific achievements neatly embrace the hundred years or so during which science as we know it became established in Britain.
They argue persuasively that even without Newton science in Britain would have made a great leap forward in the second half of the seventeenth century, headed by two extraordinary men, Hooke and Halley.
