Newton es uno de los científicos más influyentes de la historia. No solo desarrolló y formuló la teoría de la gravedad, proporcionando a la humanidad un primer atisbo del funcionamiento del universo, sino que, además, descubrió el concepto de fuerza, la naturaleza de la luz y cambió nuestra manera de calcular. Los descubrimientos de Newton transformarían para siempre la forma en que percibimos el mundo. Newton y la gravedad resume brillantemente la vida y la obra de Newton, y explica, de un modo claro y accesible, el significado y la importancia de los descubrimientos que realizó, así como la manera en que éstos han transformado nuestra vida diaria.

Isaac Newton fue uno de los más grandes científicos y matemáticos del mundo. Descubrió la gravedad y las leyes del movimiento, además de desarrollar una nueva teoría de la luz y los colores.

In this portrait of scientist Isaac Newton, the author explores Newton's childhood, his intellectual competitions, his political escapades, and how his discoveries "unlocked the system of the world".

Isaac Newton was born in a stone farmhouse in 1642, fatherless and unwanted by his mother. When he died in London in 1727 he was so renowned he was given a state funeral—an unheard-of honor for a subject whose achievements were in the realm of the intellect. During the years he was an irascible presence at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton imagined properties of nature and gave them names—mass, gravity, velocity—things our science now takes for granted. Inspired by Aristotle, spurred on by Galileo’s discoveries and the philosophy of Descartes, Newton grasped the intangible and dared to take its measure, a leap of the mind unparalleled in his generation. James Gleick, the author of Chaos and Genius, and one of the most acclaimed science writers of his generation, brings the reader into Newton’s reclusive life and provides startlingly clear explanations of the concepts that changed forever our perception of bodies, rest, and motion—ideas so basic to the twenty-first century, it can truly be said: We are all Newtonians.
