Physicists are familiar with Hooke's Law of springs, but few know of his work in other areas, such as combustion microscopy, gravitation, and architecture. England's Leonardo is a biography of Hooke that covers all aspects of his work, from his early life on the Isle of Wight through his time at Oxford University, where he became part of the group that formed the original Fellowship of the Royal Society. The author divides the book according to Hooke's fields of research-Physiology, Engineering, Microscopy, Astronomy, Geology, and Optics-and concludes with a chapter considering Hooke's legacy and his impact on science.
