The Space We Open Up To
Peter Newton's fourth full-length collection of contemporary English-language haiku finds him refining his technique and expanding his reach. Each of his previous books have been award winners, and this one promises to do the same.
Glide Path
For those of us with a propensity to thoughtlessly walk by bus stops, dryer vents, puddles, slugs, and other stuff we see every time we step outside, Peter Newton has some arresting news in Glide Path: we're missing a lot, and part of what we're missing might be part of ourselves. With his usual quiet insight, including a large dose of gentle humor, Newton shakes us awake to the invisible ties that bind us as humans to the natural world (including the human-constructed part of it).

Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton (1642-1727), The English Genius, Made His Greatest Contributions To Original Thought Before The Age Of Twenty-Five, While At Home In Lincolnshire Escaping The Great Plague Of 1665, A Period Of Which He Wrote: I Was In The Prime Of Age For Invention. Professor Of Mathematics At Cambridge, An Mp, Master Of The Mind And President Of The Royal Society, Newton, The Author Of Principia, One Of The Most Important Books In The History Of Science, Was Fascinated By Calculus, The Planets And The Laws Of Motion , And, In Keeping With His Age, Blurred The Borders Between Natural Philosophy And Speculation: He Was As Passionate About Astrology As Astronomy And Dabbled In Alchemy, While His Religious Faith Was Never Undermined By His Scientific Efforts.
A Path of Desire
Tan-Renga is a collaborative poetry that originated in Japan and is the basis of all Japanese linked poetry. Peter Newton and Kathe L. Palka have been engaged in this poetic dialogue for more than two years, and here present the best of that exploration.
The Investigation of Difficult Things
A collection of twenty original essays on the history of science and mathematics. The topics covered embrace the main themes of Whiteside's scholarly work, emphasising Newtonian topics: mathematics and astronomy to Newton; Newton's manuscripts; Newton's Principia; Newton and eighteenth-century mathematics and physics; after Newton: optics and dynamics. The focus of these themes gives the volume considerable coherence. This volume of essays makes available important original work on Newton and the history of the exact sciences. This volume has been published in honour of D. T. Whiteside, famous for his edition of The Mathematical Papers of Isaac Newton.

In this lively, handsomely illustrated biography, Ackroyd offers a complete, compelling history of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists of all time.
Newton's Apple
In the aftermath of the English Civil War, the Restoration overturned England's medieval outlook and a new way of looking at the world allowed the genius of Isaac Newton (b. 1642) and his contemporaries to flourish. Newton had a long and eventful life apart from his scentific discoveries. He was born at the beginnings of the Civil War and his studies were disrupted by the twin disasters of the Great Plague and the Fire of London. A brilliant and enigmatic genius, Newton dabbled in alchemy, wrote over a million words on the Bible, quarrelled with his contemporaries and spent his last years as Master of the Royal Mint as well as President of the Royal Society. This book sets Newton's life and work against this dramatic intellectual rebirth. Among his friends and contemporaries were Samuel Pepys, the colourful diarist, John Evelyn, the eccentric antiquarian, the astronomers Edmund Halley and John Flamsteed, and Christopher Wren, the greatest architect of his age. They were all instrumental in the founding of the Royal Society and their aim was nothing less than to examine the whole field of scientific knowledge.
