Do you hit the 'door close' button because the lift doors are taking too long to shut? Did you know we work longer, commute longer, shop longer and sleep 20% less than we did a century ago? We are obsessed with making more time, yet a microwave saves just four minutes a day - the average amount of time we spend having sex or filling in government forms.With acute insight and mordant wit, James Gle

Isaac Newton was born in a stone farmhouse in 1642, fatherless and unwanted by his mother. When he died in London in 1727 he was so renowned he was given a state funeral—an unheard-of honor for a subject whose achievements were in the realm of the intellect. During the years he was an irascible presence at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton imagined properties of nature and gave them names&#

James Gleick has long been fascinated by the making of science -- how ideas order visible appearances, how equations can give meaning to molecular and stellar phenomena, how theories can transform what we see. In Chaos, he chronicled the emergence of a new way of looking at dynamic systems; in Genius, he portrayed the wondrous dimensions of Richard Feymnan's mind. Now, in Isaac Newton, he gives us
