The listing, Neo Leo The ageless ideas of Leonardo da Vinci has ended.

This is book is by Gene Barretta. I bought this book for my son acouple of years ago brand new I might be lucky if he looked through it. Nothing is wrong with it. It is hard back book and the slip cover is in perfect condition. The inside cover says 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 there is one extraordinary person who thought of all these ideas over five hundread years ago: Leonardo da Vinci. At once an artist, inventor, engineer, and scientist, Leonardo wrote and drew detailed descriptions of what would later become hang gliders, cooking rotisseries, automobiles, robots, and much more. Gene Barretta cleverly shows how Leonardo's ideas-many inspired by his study of nature-foreshadowed modern inventions, offering a window into the future.
