Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. THIS BOOk IS VERY WEIGHY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH QUALITY PAPER STOCK USED TO GIVE THE BEST PRESENTATION OF Da VINCI'S MANY WORKS IN ART AND SCIENCE. Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology.
