Voyages of Discovery: A Visual Celebration of Ten of the Greatest Natural History Expeditions

Paperback | English

By (author): Tony Rice

Voyages of Discovery is a mesmerising visual record of ten of the most significant natural history expeditions. Superb artworks and photographs spanning three centuries document advances and watersheds in the field of natural science. The stories behind these images - of explorers, naturalists, artists and photographers - entwine into a fascinating study of human achievement and natural wonder. Among the many stories of adventure and great scientific endeavour are: Sir Hans Sloane''s journey to Jamaica in 1687; James Cook''s perilous Pacific crossings; and Darwin''s historic voyage aboard HMS Beagle. Hand-picked from the vast Library of the Natural History Museum, London, the illustrations and artworks contained here form a rare collection, most of which are exclusively presented in this stunning book. The Library of the Natural History Museum is a repository for some of the most exciting and comprehensive collections of natural history literature and artworks to be found anywhere in the world. It holds half a million artworks, comprising one of Britain''s biggest art collections, and over one million books, including rare, richly illustrated antique volumes. See more
