Leonardo: Beautiful Dreamer

(2) 4-6 An oversize volume crowded with Byrd's intricate art, a thoughtful text, and sidebars mimics the style of Leonardo's famous notebooks. The basic facts about his life are woven throughout, but the real emphasis is on his work--his paintings, his anatomy studies, his scientific inventions--making this less a complete biography than a celebration of his inquiring spirit and creative vision. A timeline is included. Bib.
