Summary
The Renaissance was a rebirth of art and literature--and of machines. In this lavishly illustrated volume, Paolo Galluzzi guides readers through a singularly inventive period featuring Taccola's and da Vinci's fusion of artistry and engineering and new concepts of learning that enabled Galileo's revolutionary mathematical science of mechanics.
