Neo Leo: The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo da Vinci

40 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-8703-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 Barretta uses a compare/contrast pattern to show how Leonardo da Vinci influenced future inventors; though he never produced such devices as a single-span bridge, steam engine, or modern movie projector, "Leo" envisioned them. The text effectively underscores the idea that scientific achievements often rest on the shoulders of others. Approachable watercolor drawings illustrate Leonardo's sketches and the modern-day inventions that followed. Websites. Bib.
