World History Biographies: Leonardo da Vinci

This biography traces Leonardo da Vinci's life as the original Renaissance man: painter, sculptor, architect, military engineer, and inventor whose notebooks anticipated tanks, helicopters, and detailed human anatomy centuries ahead of his time. A running timeline across the bottom of every page anchors his art and inventions in the wider Renaissance world. This is a strong choice for students because it shows how one relentlessly curious mind touched nearly every field of science and art.
