Never at Rest（ISBN=9780521274357） 下载 pdf 电子版 epub 免费 txt 2025

This richly detailed biography captures both the personal life

and the scientific career of Isaac Newton, presenting a fully

rounded picture of Newton the man, the scientist, the philosopher,

the theologian, and the public figure. Professor Westfall treats

all aspects of Newton's career, but his account centres on a full

de*ion of Newton's achievements in science. Thus the core of

the work describes the development of the calculus, the

experimentation that altered the direction of the science of

optics, and especially the investigations in celestial dynamics

that led to the law of universal gravitation.

Index

Richard S. Westfall (1924-1996), one of the foremost Newton scholars of his generation, was Professor of History and of History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana University. His publications include: Science and Religion in Seventeenth-Century England (1958, 1973), The Construction of Modern Science: Mechanism and Mechanics (1971), Force in Newton's Physics: the Science of Dynamics in the Seventeenth Century (1971), Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton (1980), Essays on the Trial of Galileo (1989), and The Life of Isaac Newton (1993). In 1983 the History of Science Society (which he served as president in 1977 and 1978), honored him with its Pfizer Award for Never at Rest, which will be the standard biography of Isaac Newton for many years.

During the last years of his life, Professor Westfall was engaged in a research project on patronage in the early-modern scientific community. As part of this project, he prepared a data base containing information on the careers of more than 600 scientists, his Catalog of the Scientific Community in the 16th and 17th Centuries. With his customary generosity, he made this catalog available on disk, free of charge, to colleagues for their private use. In 1994, he gave permission for the catalog to be included in the Galileo Project.

  之前条目里副标题那个“大结局”是开玩笑的吧，书的封底还写着“敬请期待下一章”呢，这个系列根本就不该完结。这种玩笑让我想起了以前的祖国版漫画，盗版商每逢四六八十卷就会印上一个“完”，当时信息不畅以为完结了，于是买下整套，看完就发现掉坑里了。

  兰小欢在其著作《一转念》中用絮絮叨叨的毫无重点文采可言的文笔加上拉大旗作虎皮式的文献引用来分析具体问题并试图引发经济学思考，他以为自己可以深入浅出地展现出其经济学逻辑与智慧。显然，兰小欢先生对自己的学术以及写作能力有着一种不切实际的人定胜天的乐观态度。阁下的这本书远没有李华芳/小李匪盗 先生毫无原则不吝吹捧的那么出色，也就是个简单不简约三流货色，文笔可能连三流都够不上。
