And for good reason. The book presents a drastically revised timeline for ancient civilizations, contracting Greek history by five hundred years and Egypt's by a millennium. Newton and the Origin of Civilization tells the story of how one of the most celebrated figures in the history of mathematics, optics, and mechanics came to apply his unique ways of thinking to problems of history, theology, and mythology, and of how his radical ideas produced an uproar that reverberated in Europe's learned circles throughout the eighteenth century and beyond. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Newton, Isaac,|d1642-1727. 600 10 Newton, Isaac,|d1642-1727|xPhilosophy. 600 10 Newton, Isaac,|d1642-1727|xPublic opinion. 600 10 Newton, Isaac,|d1642-1727.|tChronology of ancient kingdoms amended. 600 17 Newton, Isaac,|d1642-1727.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01801333 630 07 Chronology of ancient kingdoms amended (Newton, Isaac) |2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01800716 648 7 1600-1699|2fast 650 0 Scientists|zEngland|vBiography. 650 0 Philosophers|zEngland|vBiography. 650 0 Chronology, Historical|xHistory|y17th century. 650 0 Civilization, Ancient|xPhilosophy. 650 0 Public opinion|zEurope|xHistory|y17th century. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xScience & Technology.|2bisacsh 650 7 SCIENCE|xEnergy.|2bisacsh 650 7 SCIENCE|xMechanics|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 SCIENCE|xPhysics|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|xModern|y18th Century.|2bisacsh 650 7 Chronology, Historical.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00860207 650 7 Civilization, Ancient|xPhilosophy.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00862953 650 7 Intellectual life.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 Philosophers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01060746 650 7 Philosophy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01060777 650 7 Public opinion.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01082785 650 7 Scientists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01108895 651 0 Europe|xIntellectual life|y17th century. 651 7 England.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01245064 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Feingold, Mordechai. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBuchwald, Jed Z.|tNewton and the origin of civilization.|dPrinceton ; Oxford : Princeton University Press, ©2013|z9780691154787|w(DLC) 2012024733 |w(OCoLC)792880975 914 ocn823170552 994 93|bGTK
