| For more
than thirty years-half Leonardo was obsessively devoted to
investigating everything in the natural world. Nothing escaped
his interest; how our eyes see, why the sky is blue, what forces
build mountains, how light travels, where water comes from,
and-most fascinating of all to Leonardo, the inner workings of
the human body. Nothing stopped him. It was illegal to dissect
human corpses, so he did autopsies in secret, even devising a
clever way to slice through eyeballs. |
