This slim introduction to Newton accents the personality as it lays out the science.
Christianson presents traits in the adolescent Newton that flowered or festered when he became an adult, such as his childlike curiosity and his smoldering capacity for hatred. To be blunt, Newton was a disagreeable character. The list of Newton's feuds is long and occurred throughout his life: he fought with his mother and, when he became famous, with Robert Hooke, astronomer John Flamsteed, mathematician Gottfried Leibniz, philosopher John Locke, and who knows how many unrecorded tradesmen.

The last few years have witnessed a growth in academic interest in racism, and in related issues such as nationalism and ethnicity. . .
