    Absolute or Relative Motion? A Study From the Machian Point of View of the Discovery and the Structure of Dynamical Theories.Julian B. Barbour - 1988 - Cambridge University Press.
    This richly detailed biography captures both the personal life and the scientific career of Isaac Newton, presenting a fully rounded picture of Newton the man, the scientist, the philosopher, the theologian, and the public figure. Professor Westall treats all aspects of Newton's career, but his account centers on a full description of Newton's achievements in science. Thus the core of the work describes the development of the calculus, the experimentation that altered the direction of the science of optics, and especially (...)

    Maximal variety as a new fundamental principle of dynamics.Julian B. Barbour - 1989 - Foundations of Physics 19 (9):1051-1073.
    It is suggested, following a proposal made recently by Smolin, that the most fundamental law of the universe takes this form: Among the set of all possible universes compatible with an irreducibly minimal set of structural constraints, the actually realized universe is the one which maximizes a mathematically well-defined number (the variety) that measures the structural variety of the universe (in the totality of its history). This gives expression to Leibniz's idea that the actual universe gives “the greatest variety possible, (...)
