Well written, beautifully illustrated intro. to Leonardo
Ritchie Calder's book provides a lovely introduction to the life's work of Leonardo DaVinci. It's suitable for readers of all ages.
The author (1906-1982) specialised in books introducing people to science and all its adventures, and although he traces the development of Leonardo's art, the science angle is what the book focuses upon.
Especially interesting is the story of Leonardo DaVinci's explorations of anatomy (note - they had no refrigerators in those days...!)
I believe this book gives a balanced introduction to DaVinci - I know it encouraged me to seek out more information on him in books and on the Web.
Even a brief perusal of what Leonardo did, and of how he observed the world, encourages the thought that we are lucky to live in such a beautiful and interesting world.
