Leonardo da Vinci is, undeniably, one of the most famous men in the history of the world - architect and sculptor, painter and engineer, writer and student of anatomy - his was a genius such as the world may never know again.

As a painter, Leonardo’s Mona Lisa and The Last Supper occupy unique positions in the world of art. As a scientist and inventor, his ideas were vastly ahead of his time. He conceptualised a helicopter, a tank, experimented with solar power, and outlined a theory of plate tectonics.

This gloriously illustrated volume takes readers on a fascinating journey through the life and works of Leonardo - the archetypal “Renaissance Man.”

Artist’s Life
MICHELANGELO

Often considered a rival to Da Vinci for the title of Renaissance Man, Michelangelo was not only a prolific and talented sculptor - by the time he was 30, he had already sculpted two of his most famous works, David and Pieta - but also a renowned artist and architect.

His scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel are some of the most influential works in the history of Western art, and his design for the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome revolutionized classical architecture.

This wonderfully illustrated volume, packed with information and insights, is a fascinating exploration into the life and works of Michelangelo - one of the world’s most influential and important artists.

As scientists continue to explore how the brain works, using ever more sophisticated technology, it seems that new findings will radically alter the traditional understanding of human nature. One aspect of human nature that is already being questioned by recent developments in neuroscience is free will. Do our decisions arise from purely mechanistic processes? Is our feeling of self-control merely an illusion created by our brains? If so, what will become of free will and moral responsibility?

These thorny questions and many more are examined with clarity and insight in this riveting exploration of neuroscience’s potential impact on moral responsibility.

Using illustrative examples from philosophy, mythology, history, and criminology, and with thorough discussions of actual scientific experiments, My Brain Made Me Do It explores the threat of neuroscience to moral responsibility as it attempts to answer the question: Are we truly in control of our actions?
