This engaging book places Leonardo da Vinci's scientific
achievements within the wider context of the rapid development that
occurred during the Renaissance. It demonstrates how his
contributions were not in fact born of isolated genius, but rather
part of a rich period of collective advancement in science and
technology, which began at least 50 years prior to his birth.
Readers will discover a very special moment in history, when
creativity and imagination were changing the future-shaping our
present. They will be amazed to discover how many technological
inventions had already been conceived or even designed by the
engineers and inventors who preceded Leonardo, such as Francesco di
Giorgio and Taccola, the so-called Siena engineers. This engaging
volume features a wealth of illustrations from a variety of
original sources, such as manuscripts and codices, enabling the
reader to see and judge for him or herself the influence that other
Renaissance engineers and inventors had on Leonardo.
