	Quicksilver: Volume One of The Baroque Cycle - Neal Stephenson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Waterhouse, an experimenter in early computational systems and an old pal of Isaac Newton, is needed to mediate the fight for precedence between Newton and scientist and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, both of whom independently invented the calculus.
		Daniel Waterhouse possesses a gifted scientific mind and is trying to go beyond the limits of alchemy to achieve a new understanding of the world; through his eyes, we see such titans of Enlightenment science as Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton.
		It is the story of Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and conflicted Puritan, pursuing knowledge in the company of the greatest minds of Baroque-era Europe, in a chaotic world where reason wars with the bloody ambitions of the mighty, and where catastrophe, natural or otherwise, can alter the political landscape overnight.

		Waterhouse's revisionist understanding of the politics of the Persian Empire add an important piece to the puzzle of Darius the Mede.
		Waterhouse shows that the Persian emperors, beginning with Darius I, cast the rise and rule of Cyrus and Cambyses in a distinctly negative light, and their propaganda was preserved in the work of Herodotus.
		In contrast, Xenophon, the book of Daniel, and Josephus present an alternative history which is at least no less trustworthy than the later official history, and which leaves room for a predecessor and co-ruler of Cyrus in his uncle Cyaxares.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The System of the World: Volume 3 of the Baroque Cycle
		Daniel Waterhouse has returned to England, hoping to mediate the feud between Sir Isaac Newton and Leibniz, both of whom claim to have discovered the calculus and neither of whom is showing much scientific rationality in the dispute.
		The loquacious Daniel Waterhouse is still serving England as a member of the Royal Society, and the bulk of this last installment follows his attempts to stop a plot threatening the lives of his fellow scientists with a nefarious invention: the time bomb.
		Waterhouse fears for the future due to the monarchy dispute potentially harming intellectual pursuits and the math argument shredding collaborations.--- Meanwhile street schemer turned noble schemer Eliza de la Zour influences Caroline of Ansbach, consort of the heir to the English throne furthering her desires; while outlaw Jack Shaftoe struggles to avoid the hangman.

		As Waterhouse boards his ship for the transatlantic voyage, the scene dissolves, we are transported back to 1661 and the narration of his time at Trinity College, Cambridge, sharing a room with Newton, begins.
		Waterhouse aids him in his experiments, discovering Isaac with a knitting needle wedged into his eye socket so as to determine better the properties of human vision, going to market with him to buy prisms, or intruding upon his odd researches involving gunpowder.
		Daniel refers to "a kind of net-work of information", a long time before the OED's first record of such a figurative use of "net-work" (by Coleridge in 1816, talking about property).

		Daniel Waterhouse, Isaac Newton, and German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz attempt to crack the secrets of the universe in a world whose ideology is dominated by Calvinism, predestination, and the Divine Right of Kings.
		Waterhouse and his fellow natural philosophers, including Newton, Enoch Root and the inventor Robert Hooke, attempt to bring about a new era of scientific enlightenment against the tumultuous backdrop of the precarious English monarchy.
		For example, Waterhouse's association with a popular London actress is first introduced as a sort of one-night stand, and much later we find out that there was something of a regular relationship between them.

	Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson
		Set mostly in England in the late 17th to early 18th centuries, Quicksilver begins with the life of one Daniel Waterhouse, the son of a Puritan minister and a student of Science, a new and exciting discipline that promises to turn the world upside-down.
		Waterhouse must survive not only bubonic plague and the Great Fire (which leveled a good deal of London), but the religious and political struggles that threaten to tear England and Europe apart.
		The final act returns to Daniel Waterhouse, who as an adult has become part of the inner circle of bureaucrats keeping a close eye on the ascension to the throne by the scandalously Catholic James II.

	Quicksilver Review
		Waterhouse is one of a prominent Puritan family, who have wielded some influence during Cromwell's Protectorship.
		Daniel's loyalties are divided -- he is still his father's son, but hardly a true believer in the Puritan religious doctrines.
		Daniel himself is presented as a competent natural philosopher but nothing special -- he is there as a witness to genius embodied by Newton (and others such as Hooke, Huygens, and Leibniz).

		Daniel Waterhouse possesses a brilliant scientific mind -- and yet knows that his genius is dwarfed by that of his friends Isaac Newton, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Robert Hooke.
		Eliza is a young woman whose ingenuity is all that keeps her alive after being set adrift from the Turkish harem in which she has been imprisoned since she was a child.
		Daniel, Jack, and Eliza will traverse a landscape populated by mad alchemists, Barbary pirates, and bawdy courtiers, as well as historical figures including Samuel Pepys, Ben Franklin, and other great minds of the age.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Quicksilver
		Of these, Waterhouse is the dullest, and it is with him that we are unfortunately stuck.
		Sorry, but that is not an ending, even for Volume I of III, especially since you know Waterhouse survives.) I thought the ending of The Diamond Age was bad (the main character goes for a swim as a war fought by an army trained to emulate her goes on), Quicksilver 's is worse.
		For instance, the section on what Daniel Waterhouse seeks in Robert Hooke's living room/laboratory/warehouse is as exciting as a report by a student to New York's Museum of Natural History.

		Daniel Waterhouse is a seventeenth-century geek; his father's a prominent associate of Oliver Cromwell, but Daniel's more interested in Natural Philosophy than in decapitating kings and Catholics.
		It seems to be the fate of Waterhouse men to be brilliant thinkers eclipsed by the geniuses of their age.
		Daniel spends the next several weeks being chased around Plymouth Bay by the pirate Blackbeard, only to have his plot thread left dangling with no apologies.

		These chapters also indicate that Daniel Waterhouse lives to an advanced age, which fact diminishes somewhat the suspense surrounding his threatened death in "Odalisque," which takes place years earlier.
		The heroes include a mathematically-inclined outsider named Waterhouse, pulp- heroesque characters named Shaftoe, and a fantasy figure of a woman.
		Eliza and Waterhouse work very well (despite some rather far-fetched aspects of Eliza's character), which is one reason why "Odalisque" works best of the three parts.

		Just as Lawrence Waterhouse serves as an inspiring epigone of Alan Turing during World War II, so his ancestor Daniel has spent decades (the 1660s and 1670s, mainly) nurturing the unworldly maguslike Newton as he sleepwalks toward the Principia Mathematica (1685-1786).
		Daniel boards the England-bound Minerva, a ship captained by a man named Van Hoek with one arm (there is also a Mrs.
		And there may be something overneat in his conflation of philosophy, mathematics, politics and the invention of the stock exchange into an isomorphic set of iterations of the freedoms gained through the "quicksilver" of computation.

		Quicksilver starts in the year 1713, with Daniel Waterhouse in America being visited by Enoch Root the Alchemist, to be summoned back to Europe by Royalty to mediate to some degree in a dispute between Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz over who created Calculus.
		Daniel Waterhouse is the main character and really comes in to his own with this novel, being forced to shake of the passivity and cowardice which have described his past.
		Waterhouse is a witness, through his life he has been there at great events â“ the births and deaths of kings, the great plague and the great fire, the rebuilding of London, the creation of calculus, the rise and fall of government.

		In 1714, Dr. Daniel Waterhouse, a Natural Philosophy and Royal Society Fellow, travels from his home in Boston to London, at the behest of Princess Caroline of Brandenburg-Ansbach, whom Waterhouse met when she was a child.
		Princess Caroline would like Waterhouse to help Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz resolve their acrimonious dispute concerning which of them was first to discover the mathematical system of calculus.
		Waterhouse quickly discovers that London is a seething den of intrigue, playing host to a battle over the royal succession, a scheme by the infamous Jack Shaftoe to debase England's currency, and a literally explosive plot by an unknown foe to murder all the major Natural Philosophers.

		However, our focus is on Daniel Waterhouse, a mild-mannered philosopher who dabbles in many areas, but whose main talent is being the catalyst of the story.
		The first section deals with Daniel Waterhouseâs evolution into an adult and his early friendships with the Royal Society, Englandâs foremost scientists of the Restoration period.
		The sections on Danielâs life are perhaps the most boring of the series, and thankfully are punctuated with episodes of Jackâs adventures.

		Quicksilver involves having Daniel Waterhouse--the ancestor of Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse and Randy Waterhouse of Cryptonomicon fame--approached by Enoch Root to go to England and help resolve a conflict between Waterhouse's old acquaintances, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, over the development of calculus.
		The adventures of Daniel Waterhouse constitute the intellectual and geeky side of Quicksilver, while the adventures of "Half-Cocked" Jack and Eliza are rather more action-packed, but each portion of the book is interesting and fascinating in its own way.
		It should have ended with Eliza's letter to Leibniz instead of with Daniel Waterhouse about to have his bladder operated on, and there were certain portions of the book that simply were slow and dry.
