Isaac Newton: Adventurer in Thought - Cambridge Science Biographies
Hall, A. Rupert (Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London)
Hall's absorbing survey of modern scholarship interprets Newton's experimental approach to nature. Mathematics was the deepest of Newton's varied interests, unified in his single Christian design to explore God's creation. He cannot be simplified as a Platonist or mystic, but remains a complex, enigmatic genius with an imaginative, commonsensical mind.
