Leonardo da Vinci
Walter Isaacson
Discover the life and genius of history's most creative figure in this new biography. In it, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that shows how Leonardo da Vinci's art and science intersected, and how his innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, flying machines, and more made him a true Renaissance man. With the help of thousands of pages from Leonardo's notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Isaacson shows how we can learn from Leonardo's passionate curiosity, careful observation, and imaginative mind.

Given my fascination with Leonardo, I was eager to read Leonardo da Vinci, Walter Isaacson’s new biography. I’ve read a lot about Leonardo over the years, but I had never found one book that satisfactorily covered all the different facets of his life and work. – source2010-01-27T21:43:20.000Z

I read @WalterIsaacson’ biography on Steve Jobs a few years ago. Then I listened to his book on @doudna_lab. Simply brilliant. Thus had to listen to his book on Leonardo da Vinci. Fantastic. Now ordering his biographies on Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. 🙏🙏🙏 – source2019-05-21T10:05:55.000Z
