Opis

Already famous for his theories of planetary motion and gravity, Isaac Newton decided to take on the job of running the Royal Mint. This brought Newton into conflict with William Chaloner, a counterfeiter who faked coins. Set in late 17th-century London, this title challenges our perceptions of Britain's greatest scientist.
