Nowhere is the genius of Leonardo da Vinci more evident than in the famous Codex Atlanticus, whose pages preserve his dazzling ideas on subjects ranging from war machines to human anatomy and powered flight.

Easily available apps for iPhone and iPad make this stunning book a multimedia extravaganza worthy of its great subject.
