Until far into the 18th century man has wondered about the shape of the earth and different theories resulted in different shapes. Clairaut was the genius who applied hydrodynamical ideas in order to explain why the world has a larde||"The book is very well written and it is interesting to read."

In this book, Greenberg investigates the spread of Newtonian physics in the French scientific community during the eighteenth century. His central thesis is that Newton's own publications contributed only a small part of the work done on the shape of the earth. Continental scholars, especially Leibniz, influenced developments in Paris, and other French scholars, including Bouguer and Maupertuis, all contributed work used by Alexis-Claude Clairaut in developing his mature...
