An introduction to Leonardo da Vinci's genius focusing on his famous notebook sketches and the modern inventions they predicted.
In 1781, Thomas Paine came up with a model for a single-span bridge; in 1887, Adolf Eugen Fick made the first pair of contact lenses; and in 1907, Paul Cornu built the first helicopter. But Leonardo da Vinci thought of all these ideas more than five hundred years ago At once an artist, inventor, engineer, and scientist, da Vinci wrote and drew detailed descriptions of what would later become hang gliders, automobiles, robots, and much more. In Neo Geo, Gene Barretta cleverly shows how Leonardo's ideas--many inspired by his love of nature--foreshadowed modern inventions, offering a window into the future.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Square FishISBN-13:9781250079602ISBN-10:1250079608UPC:9781250079602Book Category:Juvenile NonfictionBook Subcategory:Biography & Autobiography, TechnologyBook Topic:Historical, How Things Work/Are Made, Science & TechnologySize:10.00 x 9.00 x 0.10 inchesWeight:0.3Product ID:SC6412PMGK
