Robert Hooke and the Rebuilding of London by Michael Cooper

Robert Hooke was one of the most gifted men of his age, but it was his great misfortune to work in the sphere of two remarkable men - Isaac Newton and Christopher Wren. While they gained the recognition of a monument in Westminster Abbey, Hooke died unloved, alone and in poverty. This title recognizes the great contribution that he made.
