Similar to the book in the same collection (Leonardo's Science Workshop). Maybe a bit more experimentation in this one and a way of talking about art that always flirt a bit with science. Personally I prefer the science one, but I think it's a personal preference and not a better or worst book. Just note that there are more information then experimentation (even if there's still a good deals of them), so keep that in mind. If it's what you're looking for great! If not, you might consider another kind of book!
