He studied the flight patterns of birds to create some ofthe first human flying machines; designed military weapons anddefenses; studied optics, hydraulics, and the workings of the humancirculatory system; and created designs for rebuilding Milan,employing principles still used by city planners today. Perhapsmost importantly, Leonardo pioneered an empirical, systematicapproach to the observation of nature-what is known today as thescientific method.Drawing on over 6,000 pages of Leonardo'ssurviving notebooks, acclaimed scientist and bestselling authorFritjof Capra reveals Leonardo's artistic approach to scientificknowledge and his organic and ecological worldview.
