A team of expert authors assess his breadth and brilliance, offering the reader not only succinct analyses of his work on gravity, light, colour, and calculus, but also a broader picture of the key role he plays in the history of scienceBrian Clegg read Natural Sciences, focusing on experimental physics, at Cambridge University.
