"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.

花了两周,断断续续的看完了《发现之旅》。这本书打动我的原因就是封面上的动物、植物绘画太美啦,当然这些绘画也能为我自己画画时提供参考,在我眼中,它更像一本画册,而不是自然史。 书的内容是自然史,某种程度算是科普读物,读起来文字流畅,浅显易懂。重点是文字完全没...
评分前年,我闺蜜装修新房,掏空心思布置软装,从淘宝和莱太没少淘换漂亮东西。为了不使温居礼物显得跟不上主人的品味,我搅动脑仁儿发挥这搜奇捡漏儿的本事,还别说,折扣书店压书柜底的单页雷杜德的玫瑰图谱真没让人失望,总算满足了我那有图谱癖的朋友特有的“破坏”冲动:这回...
评分1.被雕刻的时光 小时候偶尔会画工笔花草,发觉要想画得细致真实,就一定得对着这花一看再看,斟酌落笔。长大以后少了耐心去画,但是看到这样的画作,目光总会停留一下,总觉得其中除了才情技艺,还有被珍重对待的时光。 最初这本书打动我的也正是其中的插图,自然界中的虫草...
评分蹭单向街的书 只看了图片,没细看文字。好像很对不住作者,而且现在图画也忘记了。 不会画画的科学家不是好作者! 一直提示“抱歉,你的评论太短了”,可是真的没有其他想说了,这样够字数了么?
评分这是一本美丽的书,为我们呈现了前人在探险中留下的图像记录。 在达尔文乃至更早的时代中,人类对外部世界的了解是非常有限的,从英国到中国需要8个月以上的航程,除了海难的风险之外,当时人们面对许多疾病几乎束手无策,此外还有孤独、气候不适应等。然而,始终有一种力量在...
