- Description
- 124 p. : ill.; 22 cm.
- Summary
- For more than thirty years-half his life-he was obsessively devoted to investigating Everything in the natural world. Nothing escaped his interest. But the most fascinating of all to Leonardo is the inner workings of the human body. Nothing stopped him. It was illegal to dissect human corpses, so he did autopsies in secret. The author's portrait of Leonardo will not only change children's ideas of who he was, but also what it means to be a scientist.
