– Arts Activities"I could recommend any book in this Patricia Geis collection published by Priceton Architectural Press without fear of making a mistake: pop-ups and tabs are not limited to making the immersion in each of the most interactive characters but they can help explain concepts in a way more graphic . But, above all, I appreciate the rigorous content, which manages to contextualize Da Vinci with such simplicity and clarity."
