His combination of science, art, technology, and imagination remains an enduring recipe for creativity. Now Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life, showing why we have much to learn from him. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history's most creative genius. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. The author of the acclaimed best sellers Benjamin Franklin, Einstein, and Steve Jobs delivers an engrossing biography of Leonardo da Vinci, the world's most creative genius.
