Features: This book is a biographical reading. It vividly records the life of the great 17th-century British scientist Newton. Newton was born in a remote village and was the illegitimate child of a farmer. His impoverished childhood made him shy and lonely. A teacher once predicted, "This child will certainly be a very dull and foolish person." Yet, it was this quiet, wooden-working-loving child who later, through his own genius and diligence, 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.
