内容简介

Travel back in time to the year 1655, when real live sorcerers read the future in crystal balls, when villagers cast spells on their neighbors, and when real live boys studied to become wizards You'll meet 12-year-old Isaac Newton, a schoolboy determined to master the hidden powers that make this world work. Join him on his exciting quest through the last great age of magic when wizardry was real and scientific revolution was just around the corner. Newton's illustrated path from sorcery to science will make readers question the cultural context of magical beliefs, why it is that we don't seem believe in magic anymore, and develop an awareness of those magical beliefs that persist in science today.
