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.”
