Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was a gifted painter, talented musician, and dedicated scientist and inventor, designing flying machines, submarines, and even helicopters. Yet he had a hard time finishing things, a problem anyone can relate to. Only thirteen paintings are known to be his - as for the illustrated encyclopedia he intended to create, all that he left were thousands of disorganised notebook pages. A fascinating man who lived at a fascinating time - Italy during the Renaissance.

'A superb series...These books would be excellent both for a library and for children and teachers to read as part of a science course.' -- TES 20030110 This is an invigorating series... They are full of fascinating thumbnail details - da Vinci's parachute may have looked like a pyramid of cotton, but experiments today have proved it actually works... The authors humanise their subjects with imagined dialogue and the "In their own words" sections are revealing. -- The Daily Telegraph 20030110
