Walter Isaacson, celebrated journalist, and biographer, is the president and CEO of the Aspen Institute, and formerly chairman and CEO of CNN and the editor of TIME magazine. In his latest biographical work, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson weaves a narrative connecting Da Vinci’s passionate curiosity with careful observation, and a playful imagination. Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo’s notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Isaacson shows how Da Vinci’s ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and sciences made him history’s most creative genius.
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Isaacson was educated at Harvard, where he received a degree in history and literature. He later attended the University of Oxford as a Rhodes scholar at Pembroke College, studying philosophy, politics and economics, graduating with first-class honors. He and his wife, Cathy Wright Isaacson, reside in New Orleans.
