Life after Gravity

This book delves into Isaac Newton's decades in London, a period often overlooked in standard biographies.

It portrays Newton as a different figure from the reclusive academic, instead showing him as an ambitious cosmopolitan gentleman.

Fara details Newton's involvement in the Royal Mint, the Royal Society, and his participation in fashionable London society.

The book also addresses Newton's awareness of and connection to the slave trade, which was integral to Britain's economic prosperity during that time.

Fara aims to provide a more realistic image of Newton, one that is both unique and a product of his times.
