“在这部传记中，James Gleick在宏大的历史画卷与对Newton重要信件及未发表笔记本的生动聚焦之间穿梭，阐明了他在physics、optics以及calculus领域工作的真正重要性。他让我们看到了Newton最初孕育出数学的那个古老、直觉式的炼金术宇宙，并向我们展示了Newton的思想如何改变了从历史到哲学的各种理解方式。同时，他还向我们展现了撕扯着这位巨人内心的各种冲突冲动：他隐秘的渴望、他的愤怒、他的守秘癖，以及那异乎寻常的

无论从褒义还是贬义来看，牛顿都是个不折不扣的怪人（nut）。我强烈推荐詹姆斯·格雷克的《牛顿传》：https://www.amazon.com/Isaac-Newton-James-Gleick/dp/14000329... 这是一本读起来引人入胜且篇幅不长的好书。里面讲了不少他的异端思想以及和别人的宿怨恩怨，勾勒出了一个……
Newton was a nut, in nearly every positive and negative, sense of the word. I highly recommend James Gleick's Isaac Newton: https://www.amazon.com/Isaac-Newton-James-Gleick/dp/14000329... It is an engrossing and not long read on Newton. It covers a fair amount of his heretical thoughts and feuds with people and paints a…
詹姆斯·格雷克的《天才》是我读过最棒的传记，讲的是理查德·费曼的生平。格雷克的《牛顿传》也非常精彩。
Genius by James Gleick is the best biography I've ever read. It's about the life of Richard Feynman. Gleick's Isaac Newton is also fantastic.
我挺喜欢格雷克写的这本牛顿传记：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17098.Isaac_Newton 书里没有回避那些后来被颂词式传记贬为“宗教迷信”的东西，而在格雷克看来，那恰恰是牛顿世界观不可分割的一部分。
I kind of enjoyed Gleick's bio of Newton: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17098.Isaac_Newton It doesn't shy away from what later hagiographies deride as "religious superstition", but what according to Gleick was integral to Newton's worldview.
我推荐詹姆斯·格雷克的《牛顿传》，篇幅虽短，但全面且引人入胜。牛顿在各种层面上都是个十足的怪人。
I recommend James Gleick’s Isaac Newton as a short but engaging and broad view of Newton. He was a nut in all senses of the word.
詹姆斯·格雷克的《牛顿传》对那个时代的描写入木三分。它聚焦于牛顿的一生，篇幅很短，但足够让你在看《巴洛克三部曲》时认出里面的很多出场角色。
James Gleick's Isaac Newton is an excellent account of the time. It focuses on Newton's life and is quite brief, but still prepares you to recognize many of the cast in the Baroque cycle.
我是詹姆斯·格雷克的铁杆粉丝，非常喜欢他的《牛顿传》，不过读那本书已经是好几年前的事了。最近我对莱布尼茨的影响很感兴趣，特别是现在我接触微积分的频率比以前高得多！有人知道哪本……
I'm a massive fan of James Gleick and really enjoyed his biography of Isaac Newton, though it's a fair few years since I read it. Recently I've been interested in the influence of Leibniz, particularly as I'm working with calculus so much more than I used to! Does anyone know of an…
