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, aircraft, submarines, military tanks, bicycles, and even a "car." Da Vinci's understanding of science did not come from books but rather from observing, pondering, and proposing ideas about real life, accumulating knowledge bit by bit. He was not a "bookworm" who merely memorized knowledge; his greatest skill 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 novel 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, helping students supplement their after-school 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" understanding, develop and explore their innovative spirit and practical abilities, and learn scientific concepts through hands-on activities. This is also the secret to Leonardo da Vinci's success—cultivating interest in scientific exploration and independent thinking!
