Thieves take rare Newton book
Thieves have stolen a rare first edition of Isaac Newton's Principia from a library in St Petersberg. Principis or "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" was published in 1687 and is one of the most influential books ever published. In it Newton formulated his three laws of motion and his law of gravity.
