Serviceable 32 page book w/ seven chapter and numerous illustrations. Most illustrations were reproductions of works or photographs but some were original and not really that good. I would have preferred if the captions on the reproductions had given more information about the works, not merely

what the works were supposed to illustrate (something that I could probably have figured out for myself). The writing is not that simple, but the narrative, being so shortened by the length of the book, is a bit haphazard. However, the timeline at the end, which associates various events w/ the different periods of Newton's life, is rather well done.
