"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...

书是不错的,特别是精美的插图。但是明显看出是外国人的叙述方式,而且因为历史事件总是多线程进行,说着说着说到别的插曲去,让读者有点摸不着头脑。最大的问题是翻译。特别是头几章的翻译,特别生硬的翻译痕迹,不符合中文表达习惯,编辑也没有改过来,有点失望。

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...
