"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.

評分“我黎明即起,喝杯咖啡以后,便驾船起航追逐群鸟。我在十点用早餐,然后在十点到下午三点之间全神贯注钻研昆虫学。下午则忙着进行标本保存与储藏的工作。”曾于19世纪中期与华莱士一同在南美洲进行过博物学考察的贝茨后来在他的书里这样写道。这是博物学家的一天,也许在文艺...
評分我只看了目录,感觉应该是一本不错的书,值得一看。 当然了,推荐此书也是因为自己是一个喜欢旅游、探险的年轻人,喜欢在旅途中的自由自在,热爱在探险路途中的遇到的各种各样的“困难”,正是因为有这些所谓的困难,所以它才会给我带来我意想不到的“惊喜”,你呢是,是否和我...

評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...
