Another blogger recommended "The Last Sorcerer" as a rebutal to that comment.Michael White's scholarship is well-researched, incisive and thoughtful. He reveals the history of the awakening of scientific thought and inquiry of the 17th and 18th centuries in a readable and interesting manner.His descriptions of Newton, Hooke, Waterhouse, Huygens, et al, who opened the doors to the modern scientific method are easy to follow and carefully organized. Sir Isaac, indeed as much a man of God as he was a man of his time, was nonetheless largely responsible for the beginning of the end of superstition and ignorance and the awakening of inquiry and experiment.This is a good read for anyone interested in where we've been and how we got to where we are. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Also invented the reflecting telescope and was constantly investigating all sorts of things like light. He's called a sorcerer b *by on Reviewed in the United States December 29, 2014* Insightful and interesting. A super-genius who invented calculus to prove that the Earth moved around the Sun. Astronomers already believed that to be true but couldn't prove it. He was shielded from the Catholic Church because he lived in England who had broken from the Catholic Church. Also invented the reflecting telescope and was constantly investigating all sorts of things like light. He's called a sorcerer because he even investigated sorcery and probably got mercury poisoning because it was said to central to alchemy (his careful scientific research dispelled the popular belief that alchemy was possible using the methods and equipment available at the time). He was a cold unfriendly man who couldn't relate to other people. This book is well written and gives you the scoop on a man most educated people have heard of but don't know as a person. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting *by on Reviewed in the United States October 21, 2025* Very interesting but a lot of information about other scientists that is a little too in-depth. A few paragraphs on each would have been enough but the author goes on for pages and pages about each one.Mr Newton was a very interesting person.I’m glad I found a biography that brought him to life wrinkles, quirks and all. ## Frequently Bought Together - Isaac Newton: The Last Sorcerer (British Commonwealth, United States, United Nations, 1993) - The Metaphysical World of Isaac Newton: Alchemy, Prophecy, and the Search for Lost Knowledge --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/59183049-isaac-newton-the-last-sorcerer-british-commonwealth-united-states-united](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/59183049-isaac-newton-the-last-sorcerer-british-commonwealth-united-states-united) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
