Walter Isaacson's Delightful Leonardo DaVinci

I was surprised to experience so much delight in listening to an audible biography of Leonardo DaVinci. So much about the master I did not know, including his philosophy and how he worked. Even without the visuals, I have a better apprecation of the power of his curiosity and observation skills. While I have studied the Renaissance, I did not have an intimate feel for how the artist / scientist might study and apply what he learned from natural phenomena such as rivers, light, and even ringlets of hair. Nor did I appreciate the humanity of his various family and social roles. Now, I can try to think a little more like Leonardi Da Vinci.
