In 1936 Sotheby's auctioned off a huge pile of Isaac Newton's private papers, and more than a third of them were about alchemy. Hardly anyone noticed. This book picks up those papers and reads Newton whole.
That means the secret heretical theology, the years spent dating biblical prophecy, the reconstruction of Solomon's Temple and the furnace that burned for years. It's also about how great scientists keep turning out to be odder than their tidy reputations suggest, and why that matters.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (199 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
