We liked All Was Light: An Introduction to Newton’s Opticks by Rupert A. Hall
(Oxford University Press, 拢12.95, ISBN 0 19 851798 X) when it came out in
hardback in 1993, and we still like it. Hall’s introduction to Newton’s Opticks
puts that work in context, and looks at how it influenced the study of light
(and science in general) in the 18th century. But this is not a book for the
casual reader, fascinating though it will be for specialists.
