Giants of Science: Leonardo da Vinci Audiobook (Unabridged)

" He was amazing. The saddest thing is that his notes were scattered and lost so that other scientists could not build upon his ideas. This is a must read for an easy understanding of who Leonardo Da Vinci was. Very accessible. "

" What a fascinating story of the science side of da Vinci. He was a genius in many areas. Very interesting and easy read. "

" i love the giants of science series. the stuff you never learn in school! "

" Didn't know Leo was rival with Mike. "

" A nice biography of Da Vinci especially for those who don't know anything about him. This biography focused more on his scientific life and discoveries. Very interesting, and definitely a good one to recommend. "

" Not as good as her book about Marie Curie, but still very enjoyable. "

" This series rocks. Well written, some of this is conjecture based on the times and based on his writings but still a ton of information and insight into one of the greatest minds on record. A quick, quick read and hard for me to put down (I stayed up late reading this two nights). "

" I am currently reading this and so far I like this book. I've noticed lots of differences for back then to today. I had no clue that Leonardo was also a scientist. "

" Great biography on the scientific bent da Vinci had. Loved learning! Will read with kids. After reading this, I spent all morning reading da Vinci's notebooks that have been published online. "

" Different, but interesting read for battle of the books. "

" A decent introduction to da Vinci. She does include a bibliography, which is kudos to her, and a brief overview of the notebooks and where they are. The sum up at the end does have her personal views as a historian--but to be honest, what history book doesn't have personal views? "

" Besides artistic gifts, Leonardo da Vinci was very much a scientist with a passion for understanding the natural world. Kudos to Kathleen Krull for this great start to her Giants of Science series. "

" I was reminded of people I know all throughout this book. I guess geniuses have faults too :) "

" This is a wonderful short discription of the extensive work of Leonardo da Vinci. This was just enough of a summary for me to be a perfect refresher. "

" Great book for using in a middle school science classroom. I only wish I had a classroom set! I'll have to settle for reading this one out loud and hope that I'll be able to purchase a classroom set in the future! "

" This was a lot of fun to read. It was about Leonardo's interest in Science, not his works of Art. Very interesting, and a shorter read so it would be great for kids or teens. "

" Great biography for kids that focused on his timeline and his love of the scientific process. There wasn't much on his art. "

" Great information about Da Vinci. The man is a phenom of epoch proportions. "

" Fabulous account of Leonardo's life but had some unsavory content relating to alternative lifestyles. "
