"A rare and beautiful selection of works handpicked from the vast archives of London's Natural History Museum." ""The book's greatest contribution is to showcase the work of the artists who, usually under very difficult circumstances, so brilliantly served science and opened Western eyes to new worlds."" - School Library Journal (on the original edition) Voyages of Discovery is a mesmerizing visual survey of the most significant discoveries in the history of natural science exploration. Superb artwork and photographs spanning three centuries document landmark advances made in the field and bring to life the fascinating stories of the explorers, naturalists, artists and photographers. The book is fully illustrated in color with informative text and captions. Highlights include: Sir Hans Sloane's 1687 voyage to Jamaica, where he collected and recorded plant specimens, including cocoa, which are preserved to this day Maria Sybilla Merian's personal journey to Surinam in 1699, where in brilliant detail she recorded butterflies and exotic insects Charles Darwin's fateful trip to the Galapagos Islands, on which he cataloged finches and fossils William Bartram's fanciful documentation of North American wildlife Matthew Flinders' mapping of Australia, where he was accompanied by Ferdinand Bauer, perhaps the greatest of all natural science artists. The Natural History Museum in London has the world's most comprehensive collection of natural science specimens and artworks. Voyages of Discovery offers readers a privileged opportunity to explore that collection.

小的时候曾经获赠一套书《哈利罗杰历险记》,讲的是一位英国博物学家带着十几岁的儿子去亚马逊森林收集动物和植物标本的故事。这是我那时候拥有的最喜欢的一套书了,反复阅读,看着哈利和罗杰在亚马逊河流上,帮忙或者帮倒忙,他们相继遇到了食人鱼和食人族,不过还是全须全尾...
评分总觉得博物学是一门颇贵气的学问,非是要有些资本的贵族才玩的起,你总得带一队人马,跋山涉水,远离人类日常活动的区域,甚至要到地球的另外一头去收集常人所不曾见识过的矿石,树叶,动物标本。若不是有闲阶级,怕是没功夫也没时间去做的。 也因此,印...
评分我从海淀图书馆借了一本《发现之旅》回来,没花多少时间就看完了。顺手把一些植物名记下,从网上搜了图片后,存在自己的植物图片库里。 多年以来,我都是用这种笨拙的方式在认识植物。把听说的、看到的每一种植物图片都存在一个巨大的文件夹中。渐渐地,那个文件夹里有了几千张...
评分这是一本让人惊艳的书,它像一首长诗一样,以自己独特的方式歌颂了自然的美好与丰富,庄严与神奇。在一个春寒未消的午后,它带我进入17世纪末到19世纪末的那些浪漫的人类探险之旅,跟随着航向牙买加的船队,转而探索锡兰,漫游北美洲,横跨太平洋……在汉斯.斯隆爵士、保罗.赫...
评分在令人神往的地理大发现的年代,处处充满了传奇。新的大陆不断被发现,新的物种不断被认识,在短短几个世纪内,人类的认知领域迅速扩大,很快,地球上就几乎不存在人类未踏足过的大陆了。在这些传奇的旅程之中,人类的先行者们是如何描述展现在他们面前的新世界的呢?通过记述...
