The pages of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks teem with ideas and are unparalleled in the graphic work of any other thinker from any age. Martin Kemp, the leading authority on da Vinci's art and science, brings his work and ideas to life. Extraordinary images from a wide variety of sources, some virtually unknown, are illuminated by largescale models and sequences of innovative computer graphics designed to animate his thoughts. Leonardo never lost his awe of the wonders of natural design, and this ground-breaking book communicates a comparable sense of wonder through the continued grandeur and freshness of Leonardo's incomparable vision.
