This book contains 262 high-quality annotated reproductions with details of paintings and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. Some people say that the "devils in the details" and generally; they are right. Looking out for the small details in one picture is a good practice; since in most of the cases small but ultimately important details is the heart of a great authors idea. This title aims to help you see the details of his works; his secrets are not in his words; they are in his works. Look close up at his paintings and drawings; and that tell you what you cannot see but need to know and that should be enough. His genius; perhaps more than that of any other figure; epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Titan; a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.

How does a guy from Salford end up fighting bulls in Spain as well as hanging out with George BestBy UsmancHow does a guy from Salford end up fighting bulls in Spain as well as hanging out with George Best - the man who immortalized "I spend a lot of money on birds; booze and cars. . .the rest I wasted". Im glad Frank took the time to capture his life - between his passions for rugby and the ring with his Arthur Daleyesque entrepreneurial escapades of fights; flaboyance and what it was like to deal with Besty and animal rights protestors. You may not like his position on all things but they are his view on life (and hes not really asking for your approval). What you get is what a lot of us learned growing up in Salford is that the roots run deep and sometimes it is difficult to let the dreams fly - Frank was able to do both and you get a real sense of it.
