The curious life of Robert Hooke - the man who measured London
Architect, engineer, surveyor and scientist, Robert Hooke was a multi-talented maverick. He was the first curator of Experiments at the Royal Society; helped Christopher Wren re-build London after the Great Fire of 1666; discovered the mathematical formula for elasticity; and conceived of gravity before his deadly rival, Newton. Now, this book re-appraises his extraordinary life and times.
