"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.

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?
算是摸过吧,直白的描述还是让我提不起兴趣
