The consummate Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) produced a body of work perhaps unparalleled in history. His sketches & copious notes give us a glimpse into the mind of a genius, as he carefully recorded his environment & experiences in his distinctive mirror-image cursive handwriting & superb sketches. The cover of this luxurious notebook pays homage to Leonardo’s fascination with the concepts of grace & the geometric structure of the universe by reproducing some of his notes on water motion & the moon. The intrinsic beauty of serpentine flow was valued artistically as the most graceful of figurative movements & in his diagram of the light of the moon relative to the brilliance of the sun recorded in the Codex Leicester, we can still see his dedication to the ideal of precision & beauty. Take a leaf out of Leonardo’s book with this superb notebook; be infused with the man’s indomitable curiosity for life’s wonders & grace, & his commitment to note, record & attempt to describe its workings.

Water Ways: A Thousand Miles Along Britain`s Canals

For a hundred and fifty years, between the plod of packhorse trains and the arrival of the railways, canals were the high-tech water machine driving the industrial revolution. Amazing feats of engineering, they carried the rural into the city and the urban into the countryside, and changed the lives of everyone. And then, just when their purpose was extinguished by modern transport, they were saved from extinction and repurposed as a `slow highways` network, a peaceful and countrywide haven from our too-busy age. Today, there are more boats on the canals than in their Victorian heyday.Writer and slow adventurer Jasper Winn spent a year exploring Britain`s waterways on foot and by bike, in a kayak and on narrowboats. Along a thousand miles of `wet roads and water streets` he
discovered a world of wildlife corridors, underground adventures, the hardware of heritage and history, new boating communities, endurance kayak races and remote towpaths. He shared journeys with some of the last working boat people and met the anglers, walkers, boaters, activists, volunteers and eccentrics who have made the waterways their home. In Britain most of us live within five miles of a canal, and reading this book we will see them in an entirely new light.
