Leonardo da Vinci's scientific explorations were virtually unknown
during his lifetime, despite their extraordinarily wide range. He
studied the flight patterns of birds to create some of the first
human flying machines; designed military weapons and defenses;
studied optics, hydraulics, and the workings of the human
circulatory system; and created designs for rebuilding Milan,
employing principles still used by city planners today. Perhaps
most importantly, Leonardo pioneered an empirical, systematic
approach to the observation of nature-what is known today as the
scientific method.
Drawing on over 6,000 pages of Leonardo's surviving notebooks,
acclaimed scientist and bestselling author Fritjof Capra reveals
Leonardo's artistic approach to scientific knowledge and his
organic and ecological worldview. In this fascinating portrait of a
thinker centuries ahead of his time, Leonardo singularly emerges as
the unacknowledged "father of modern science."
