      abstract = {This book explores the mind of Leonardo Da Vinci and  explains the profound impact his ideas have had on our  times, discussing his paintings, fascination with water,  and dream of flying. Revered today as, perhaps, the  greatest of Renaissance painters, Leonardo da Vinci was a  scientist at heart. The artist who created the Mona Lisa  also designed functioning robots and digital computers,  constructed flying machines and built the first heart  valve. His intuitive and ingenious approach, a new mode of  thinking, linked highly diverse areas of inquiry in  startling new ways and ushered in a new era. In this work,  the author, a science journalist, deciphers the forgotten  legacy of this universal genius and demonstrates that today  we have much to learn from Leonardo's way of thinking. The  author sheds light on the mystery behind Leonardo's  paintings, takes us through the many facets of his  fascination with water, and explains the true significance  of his dream of flying. It is a glimpse into the complex  and brilliant mind of this inventor, scientist, and pioneer  of a new world view, with profound consequences for our  times.},
