From the author of the "Giants of Science" series comes the story of Leonardo da Vinci. This biography delves deeply into his life. As a teenager, Leonardo started work as a studio boy. From there he developed as not only an artist, but also someone curious about nature, ideas, and learning new things. His talent in drawing enabled him to blueprint his ideas and sell them when necessary; most profitable were his weaponry designs. He was believed to have had the first submarine and helicopter design. He was interested in anatomy and performed autopsies to see how the body worked. Leonardo kept many of his ideas hidden from the public in a notebook, and it wasn't until most of his ideas became a reality that people discovered some of the notebooks and realized how far advanced his ideas were.
