| 5. The Anatomical Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci: Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) possessed one of the greatest minds of all
time; his importance and influence are inestimable. Leonardo's
drawings reveal his brilliant draftsmanship and his mastery of anatomy.
Many of his drawings can be found in the principal European
collections; the largest group is at Windsor Castle in England.
Leonardo was a Florentine artist, one of the great masters of the High
Renaissance, celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer,
and scientist. His profound love of knowledge and research was the
keynote of both his artistic and scientific endeavors. His scientific
studies- particularly in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics
- anticipated many of the developments of modern science. 44

About Our CDs
Many of our CDs are composed of collections of
multiple texts and documents concentrating on specific regions or subject
areas. Many contain 5, 10 or more separate publications. Each CD is
truly a reference BONANZA to the home historian with thousands of pages of
research information. The age of most of these text make them
inaccessible to the average researcher. Naturally their scarcity and
fragility makes them very expensive to acquire hence often kept under lock
and key in an effort to preserve them. Unfortunately this also makes them
unavailable for public view. Our CDs are produced by scanning the actual pages
of the original text making them not only excellent resources but archival
copies available for future generations. If you could find a hard copy of any of
these books it would cost hundreds of dollars - individually worth many times the cost of a
CD. The average cost of a single
CD, containing our "theme or regional" based collections has been kept
affordable in an effort to make this information obtainable to as many home
researchers as possible.
Our CDs have become the
ultimate research tool. Having a copy on hand allows research at your leisure
and your schedule while in the comfort of your home. Additionally you can still
print individual or groups of pages as you need directly from your CDs.
Giving you the best of both old and new research techniques. Unless
otherwise noted most pdf Files are now searchable. Searchable pdf
files allow single or multiple file searches with one
search request.
Our CDs are designed to be easily
used even for those new to
computers. The opening
menu, which opens much like a web page (utilizing your browser and a link like
navigation system), is easily navigated and extremely user
friendly.
Before using our CDs please update your
Adobe Reader to the newest version available. Updates are available as free downloads at adobe.com. Our CDs now work with both
