Kritik
From the book reviews:

Selected as "Highly Commended" at BMA Medical Book Awards for 2014.

"It will be of interest to many others and I hope it reaches the audience it deserves. This is a lovely book. Those few who are specifically interested in Leonardo's work on the heart will find much of value and I hope it is read by artists, art historians and surgeons, who will fine ... that the encounter with Leonardo's work is intellectually stimulating." (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2014)mehr
