Имя Исаака Ньютона, величайшего ученого, открывшего закон всемирного тяготения, знает любой ребенок. Но не всем известно, что математик и астроном, философ и алхимик Ньютон в эпоху жесточайшего финансового кризиса в Англии 1690-х фактически возглавил Королевский монетный двор. Борясь с фальшивомонетчиками, он вступил в схватку с самым авторитетным мошенником Лондона, Уильямом Чалонером, и был готов на все, чтобы выследить его и отправить на виселицу.

В книге "Ньютон и фальшивомонетчик" американский историк, научный журналист и создатель научно-популярных фильмов Томас Левенсон открывает широкому читателю нового Ньютона. Портрет гения, чья судьба неразрывно связана не только с историей науки, но и с английской Славной революцией, Большой перечеканкой и становлением современной финансовой системы, лишь отдаленно напоминает тот, что знаком нам из учебника физики.
