Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci har gjort två av världshistoriens mest berömda målningar, Nattvarden och Mona Lisa, men i sina egna ögon var han lika mycket vetenskapsman som konstnär. Han var ständigt nyfiken, och med en passion som gränsade till besatthet utförde han nyskapande studier av människans anatomi, fossiler, fåglar, flygmaskiner och växter. Hur bar han sig åt? Varifrån fick han sin inspiration? Utifrån tusentals sidor av Leonardo da Vincis fantastiska anteckningar och skisser, samt nya upptäckter om hans liv och verk, har Walter Isaacson skrivit en biografi om historiens mest kreativa geni. Fram träder bilden av en man som av sin samtid betraktades som udda han var gay, vänsterhänt, vegetarian, född utom äktenskapet men vars fantasi och uppfinningsrikedom gick utöver det vanliga. Isaacson menar att även vi som lever idag kan lära av Da Vinci: att inte bara ta emot den kunskap som serveras oss, att vilja ifrågasätta. Att våga tänka annorlunda.

Steve Jobs - En Biografi
Steve Jobs, i-konenDen egensinnige kreatören, den maniske perfektionisten. Vi kände honom som den store uppfinnaren, den som revolutionerat vårt sätt att umgås och förhålla oss till världen och totalt förändrat vårt vardagsliv. Men vem var han? Och hur kom han att bli till den ikon han är idag? Vilka var hans drivkrafter? Vilka tankar och människor påverkade honom, stöttade honom, bjöd honom motstånd?För första gången berättar Steve Jobs om sitt liv och sitt arbete. Under flera års tid och i över fyrtio intervjuer har Steve Jobs berättat öppenhjärtigt för vetenskapshistorikern Walter Isaacson om sin uppväxt, sitt privatliv och sin karriär. Han har inga skäl kvar att dölja någonting. Här berättar han allt.Det här är historien om en man som mer än någon annan personifierar vår tid, en symbol för den mänskliga kreativiteten och ett synsätt där form och innehåll är lika viktiga.Steve Jobs har, med sitt driv och sin ständiga jakt på perfektion, totalt revolutionerat vår värld och vårt sätt att leva. Han släppte in datorn i hemmet, gav den tecknade filmen en renässans, stöpte i ett enda slag om musikindustrin med sin i-Pod och med i-Phonen förvandlade han telefonen till ett oumbärligt vardagsredskap -- och en väldigt kul leksak. Samtidigt.Steve Jobs avled i oktober 2011, 56 år gammal.

Einstein
NOW A MAJOR SERIES 'GENIUS' ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, PRODUCED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING GEOFFREY RUSHEinstein is the great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius. He was a rebel and nonconformist from boyhood days. His character, creativity and imagination were related, and they drove both his life and his science. In this marvellously clear and accessible narrative, Walter Isaacson explains how his mind worked and the mysteries of the universe that he discovered. Einstein's success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a worldview based on respect for free spirits and free individuals. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one with just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. This new biography, the first since all of Einstein's papers have become available, is the fullest picture yet of one of the key figures of the twentieth century. This is the first full biography of Albert Einstein since all of his papers have become available -- a fully realised portrait of this extraordinary human being, and great genius.Praise for EINSTEIN by Walter Isaacson:- 'YOU REALLY MUST READ THIS.' Sunday Times 'As pithy as Einstein himself.' New Scientist '[A] brilliant biography, rich with newly available archival material.' Literary Review 'Beautifully written, it renders the physics understandable.' Sunday Telegraph 'Isaacson is excellent at explaining the science. ' Daily Express

Elon Musk
The #1 New York Times and global bestseller from Walter Isaacson--the acclaimed author of Steve Jobs, Einstein: His Life and World, Benjamin Franklin, and Leonardo da Vinci--is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating, controversial innovator of modern times. For two years, Isaacson shadowed Elon Musk as he executed his vision for electric vehicles at Tesla, space exploration with SpaceX, the AI revolution, and the takeover of Twitter and its conversion to X. The result is the definitive portrait of the mercurial pioneer that offers clues to his political instincts, future ambitions, and overall worldview. When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist. His
