Leonardo's Legacy: How da Vinci Reimagined the World by Stefan Klein
4.0
I need a little nonfiction right now, and who better than Da Vinci.
Anything about Da Vinci is riveting. This book was more about the genius of his perspective on the world and less about the genius of his accomplishments. I still think his drawings and experiments were outstanding. Even his theories and inventions that he never tested are quite amazing for his time.
The epilogue addressed that more Da Vincis could be out there in the world, but with the societies we've created for ourselves we may never find them. His genius lay in large part in the way he viewed the world and his ability to follow several different paths. That kind of outlook is not encouraged anymore.
