Features: This book is a biographical reading material. It vividly records the life of Sir Isaac Newton, a great scientist of 17th-century England. Newton was born in a remote village and was the illegitimate son of a farmer. His impoverished childhood made him shy and lonely. A teacher once predicted, "This child will surely grow up to be a very dull and foolish person." Yet, it was this quiet, woodwork-loving child who, through his own genius and diligence, later discovered the law of universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, made significant contributions to the advancement of human science in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, optics, and more, becoming a scientific giant respected worldwide.
