Johns Hopkins., 2001. Hardcover. Very Good. Perpetual Motion: Transforming Shapes in the Renaissance from da Vinci to Montaigne by Michel Jeanneret (ISBN: 9780801864803): "Perpetual Motion" offers readers a captivating journey through the Renaissance period, exploring the fascination with perpetual motion and transforming shapes. Author Michel Jeanneret delves into the intellectual and artistic movements of the Renaissance, examining the era's preoccupation with mechanical devices, geometric transformations, and the quest for perpetual motion.

The book presents a rich tapestry of ideas and innovations that shaped the intellectual landscape of the Renaissance, making it a compelling read for those interested in the history of science and art during this pivotal period.
