Features: Leonardo da Vinci was a painter and scientist during the Italian Renaissance, also a symbol of human wisdom. He is renowned for his famous painting, the Mona Lisa. In addition to painting, he studied natural sciences and was a genius who extraordinarily unified art and science. Most of da Vinci's scientific research and inventions were preserved in the form of manuscripts. In his manuscripts, we find sketches of prototypes for helicopters, flying machines, submarines, military tanks, bicycles, and even a "car." Da Vinci's understanding of science did not come from books but rather from observing, experimenting with, and thinking about real-life phenomena, gradually accumulating knowledge. He was not a "bookworm" who merely memorized facts; his greatest strength was combining knowledge with his bold and imaginative ideas, his own inventions. This series of books aims to unify art, science, and creativity. With vivid and innovative mini-sections and over a thousand lively, interesting, and intuitive images, it reveals the secrets of scientific knowledge in various fields—such as painting, architecture, geography, mathematics, physics, astronomy, and engineering technology—from different perspectives, making it suitable for primary and secondary school students to supplement their extracurricular knowledge and enhance their scientific literacy. The "Let's Get Creative" DIY section in this book is particularly engaging, helping students transform their "dead" knowledge into "alive" experiences, develop and explore their innovative spirit and practical abilities, and understand scientific principles through hands-on activities. This fosters an interest in scientific exploration and independent thinking—the very secrets of da Vinci's success!
