Leonardo da Vinci was a brilliant artist, scientist, engineer, mathematician, architect, inventor, and even musician—the archetypal Renaissance man. But he was also a profoundly modern man. Not only did Leonardo invent the empirical scientific method over a century before Galileo and Francis Bacon, but Capra's decade-long study of Leonardo's fabled notebooks reveals that he was a systems thinker centuries before the term was coined. At the very core of Leonardo's science, Capra argues, lies his persistent quest for understanding the nature of life. His science is a science of living forms, of qualities and patterns, radically different from the mechanistic science that emerged 200 years later. Because he saw the world as an integrated whole, Leonardo always applied concepts from one area to illuminate problems in another. His studies of the movement of water informed his ideas about how landscapes are shaped, how sap rises in plants, how air moves over a bird's wing, and how blood flows in the human body. His observations of nature enhanced his art, his drawings were integral to his scientific studies, and he brought art, science, and technology together in his beautiful and elegant mechanical and architectural designs. Capra describes seven defining characteristics of Leonardo da Vinci's genius and includes a list of over forty discoveries he made that weren't rediscovered until centuries later. Capra follows the organizational scheme Leonardo himself intended to use if he ever published his notebooks. So in a sense, this is Leonardo's science as he himself would have presented it. Obviously, we can't all be geniuses on the scale of Leonardo da Vinci. But his persistent endeavor to put life at the very center of his art, science, and design and his recognition that all natural phenomena are fundamentally interconnected and interdependent are important lessons we can learn from. By exploring the mind of the preeminent Renaissance genius, we can gain profound insights into how to address the complex challenges of the 21st century.

Download and read online ebook Decoding Da Vinci write by Ronald Warncke. This book was released on 2013-06-21. Decoding Da Vinci available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Five hundred years ago Leonardo da Vinci "decoded" a theological doctrine about God encoded into the first chapter of the Bible's Book of Genesis. This had been done during the Jewish Babylonian Captivity two thousand year before Leonardo lived. The "theological" message he discovered was so contrary to the teachings of the that he dared not reveal it to anyone. To leave a record of his discovery he encoded it into his most famous painting the Mona Lisa. If the Medieval Inquisition had "decoded" the "message" that Leonardo da Vinci had "encoded" into the Mona Lisa they would probably have burned him at the stake for heresy. This work of art has been the subject of countless controversies and inquiries down through the centuries. The most controversial theory is the painting's depiction of what appears to be an androgens person. One analysis indicates a possible underlying sketch of the artist as the model. There are also alleged accounts of various women and even a man modeling for the portrait. This book is not a work of fiction. It examines and explains in painstaking detail what Leonardo da Vinci had discovered and encoded into the world's most famous painting and why his "message" would have been heresy to the Medieval Church.. Leonard da Vinci is the most revered genius of the medieval period. However, despite Leonardo's many, various and unique accomplishments he remains best known to the world for the Mona Lisa. This is just as he had intended. The author evaluates the known facts, examines the various conjectures and explores the historical background, - all of which solves the mystery of Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile. In doing so it leads the reader to the logical and dramatic conclusion Leonardo da Vinci had deliberately and carefully planned to leave to posterity.
