He demonstrated that the motion of objects on Earth and celestial bodies could be accounted for by the same principles. ![]() Newton used his mathematical description of gravity to derive Kepler's laws of planetary motion, account for tides, the trajectories of comets, the precession of the equinoxes and other phenomena, eradicating doubt about the Solar System's heliocentricity. In the Principia, Newton formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint for centuries until it was superseded by the theory of relativity. ![]() Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing infinitesimal calculus. His pioneering book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ( Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687, consolidated many previous results and established classical mechanics.

The setting is also Arthurian, but in an imaginary world of three kingdoms, knights with different colored shields and horses, and just a touch of magic and wonder. The simplicity of language, sentence structure and plot all remind me of Malory’s Morte D’Arthur. It reads like a translation from some other language or some other world, which helps rather than hinders the sense of an otherworldly quest in another time and place. The book has been translated into over sixteen languages, most recently with an English translation by Laura Watkinson. It won the Children’s Book of the Year award in the Netherlands and subsequently in 2004 was chosen as the best Dutch youth book of the latter half of the twentieth century. Another book for my Around the World project, The Letter for the King ( De brief voor de Koning) was published in 1962 by the Dutch author Tonke Dragt. ![]() ![]() ![]() They are sexually inappropriate and they enrage Park.

That evolution begins in the intense (actually, beyond intense) heat of the Big Bang that was necessary in the first fractional seconds of time to bind together the initial particles of matter. The best part of this book was his description of the four fundamental forces ("interactions" he calls them as they always involve two or more "things") and how these relate to the evolution of the basic physical components of the universe (quarks, atomic nuclei, atoms, stars and galaxies). Ferris was a great choice for an introductory tutorial, even though I stumbled on to him randomly at the used book store. "Ferris takes the reader through the history of the physics, from the Greeks to Newton, to the sun and the Milky Way, and then to the edges of space and time.
