Must for Physicists and Historians of Science.
Newton's "Principia" was the crowning achievement of 17th Century Natural Philosophy, bringing together the works of great thinkers like Galileo and Johanes Kepler. This great work supplied the momentum for the Scientific Revolution and dominated physics for over 200 years. Although it was later demonstrated to have limitations at the atomic level, the principles of Newtonian physics are still ...

Dont Understand
It is obvious neither of the previous reviewers understand, this book was written by Issac Newton in the 1600's. It is read for historical reasons.
The Prophecies of Daniel and The Apocalypse (1733)

A Newton Buff
No study of Newton would be complete without reading his book on the prophecy in Daniel and Revelation. It is amazing to think that Newton believed the Jewish people had to be back in the land of Israel for these prophecies to be fulfilled. This was at a time when many scoffed at the mere idea, and viewed the church as replacing the nation of Israel. People who doubt the reality of the bible ...

On the cosmological argument for the existence of a deity
I reckon the book gives a very good measure of Sir Isaac Newton's interests in philosophy. One shoulk ask why philosophy? Well we have to say that this writings contain some of the best arguments ever used in defense of God's existence. Moreover, the "Four letters to Mr. Richard Bentley" contain what should be considered the argument of "imperfection" for the existence of a Voluntary Agent in the ...

The Life of Abraham Lincoln was interesting and informative
In Isaac Arnold's book, The Life Of Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Arnold portyays Lincoln how he knew him. Isaac was aquainted with Abe Lincoln for over a quarter century, and that helped him in completing this wonderful biography. It does, however, lack several important facts that have now been discovered. Since Mr. Arnold wrote his book twenty years after Lincoln's death, the United States didnt ...
Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and His System of the World (Principia.)

This is a key masterpiece in the history of Science.
I bought this book not for the purpose of learning Classical Mechanics from it, but for the scientific curiosity of learning how the great Isaac Newton presented his revolutionary scientific ideas to the world. Of course, it is difficult to read. This is an old translation of a book written in Latin more than 300 years ago! This book is a jewel. Just like the original works of Einstein, Maxwell, ...
Newton's Principia: The central argument : translations, notes and expanded proofs

Great book, but outdated edition
Newton's Principia: The Central Argument is a wonderful book, but the 1996 edition has been superseded by the revised and expanded 2003 edition, ISBN 1-888009-24-1 (Hardcover) and 1-888009-23-3 (softcover). Both are available from Amazon.Com. This book is unique in allowing readers access to Newton's actual thought. Unlike other editions that transform Newton's arguments into modern ...

Great Mind. This is it. Touch it and get galvanized!
This is a 'hard-to-read' book. The great mind builds up the world on his simple principles. He does not use his inventions that are now known as differentiation and integration. He only uses Euclid's geometry to build the world upon his three principles, with the majesty like God's. It's not so good as a course book for mechanics. He takes the hard but rigorous way than to take the way that is ...
Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John

One of humanity's greatest minds brought to bear on Prophecy
The mastermind of Sir Isaac Newton yields results just as brilliant when studying Bible prophecy as when he turned his attention to the physical universe! There is in this book a consistency of interpretation in all the details of the prophecies of Daniel and of Revelation that I have not seen in any of the works of modern-day scholars. Isaac Newton seems to be completely true to the message ...
The Principia : Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

Isaac Newton

Excellent translation with helpful apparatus
I am writing my dissertation on Newton and have found this translation incredibly helpful and surprisingly readable. The Principia is one of the most difficult and inaccessible books ever written -- so much so, in fact that even John Locke (himself a pretty smart guy) had to ask Christian Huygens to explain much of it to him. This difficulty was intentional, because Newton did not want ...
The Chronology Of Ancient Kingdoms Amended

Isaac, Sir Newton

Hard pressed for praise
I ordered this edition from Hard Press by accident, after looking at the facsimile edition with the yellow cover from Kessinger, which is what comes up when you "search inside". The Hard Press edition transliterates (but does not translate) all the Ancient Greek text included in the original, which is deeply annoying, and in no way helpful to those who couldn't read it in the first place -- since ...
