An illustrated look at the art and science of paleontology from its origins to todayHumans have been stumbling upon the petrified remains of ancient animals since prehistoric times, leading to tales of giant dogs, deadly dragons, tree gods, sea serpents, and all manner of strange and marvelous creatures. In this richly illustrated book, David Bainbridge recounts how legends like these gradually gave rise to the modern science of paleontology, and how this pioneering discipline has reshaped our view of the natural world.Bainbridge takes readers from ancient Greece to the eighteenth century, when paleontology began to coalesce into the scientific field we know today, and discusses how contemporary paleontologists use cutting-edge technologies to flesh out the discoveries of past and present. He brings to life the stories and people behind some of the greatest fossil finds of all time, and explains how paleontology has long straddled the spheres of science and art. Bainbridge also looks to the future of the discipline, discussing how the rapid recovery of DNA and other genetic material from the fossil record promises to revolutionize our understanding of the origins and evolution of ancient life.This panoramic book brings together stunning illustrations ranging from early sketches and engravings to eye-popping paleoart and high-tech computer reconstructions.

Eine reich bebilderte, spannende Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Zoologie. Seit Jahrhunderten ordnen Zoologen die Tierwelt und erschufen dabei Zeichnungen und Kunstwerke von außerordentlicher Schönheit. Für naturgeschichtlich und kunsthistorisch Interessierte. Schon lange vor Darwin waren unsere Vorfahren von den Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschieden in der Tierwelt fasziniert. Sie ahnten sehr früh, dass es eine bestimmte Ordnung in all dem Leben um uns herum geben müsse. Daraus entstanden die verschiedensten Systeme, Tiere zu kategorisieren, um diese Ordnung abzubilden. Dieses Buch erzählt und visualisiert die faszinierende Geschichte dieser Versuche, Tiere zu «ordnen»: von Aristoteles’ Klassifikation anhand des tierischen Verhaltens bis hin zur modernen Molekulargenetik. Die wunderbaren zoologischen Diagramme aus verschiedensten Epochen spiegeln die vorherrschenden künstlerischen Trends und wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen wider und erzählen uns genauso viel über uns selbst wie über die abgebildeten Tierarten.

Discover how categorisation has shaped our view of the natural world with How Zoologists Organize Things. The book unveils wild truths and even wilder myths about animals, as perpetuated by zoologists - revealing how much more there is to learn, and unlearn.

This book offers a rich exploration of animal anatomy through stunning illustrations that span from ancient times to the present. It delves into the artistic and scientific representations of animals, highlighting the evolution of anatomical studies and their significance in art and science. Readers will discover the intricate connections between anatomy and artistic expression, providing a unique perspective on how our understanding of animals has developed over the centuries.

Have you ever wondered what beats beneath an animal's skin? Well, you wouldn't be the first one. The study of comparative anatomy has led to some of the most striking images ever created. For two and a half thousand years, the animal body has been picked apart to drive arguments in natural philosophy, to reinforce dogma, to remind us of death, to horrify, educate, and enthral. This book recounts the intertwined intellectual and artistic journeys of comparative anatomy from antiquity to the present day. Rather than offering an exhaustive listing, it focuses on the distinctive artistic flavors of five great phases of anatomical endeavour. Horses opened like books, the leer of a shark's eye, the humming loom of the brain-all life is here, dissected, and depicted. Lyrically written and accompanied by captivating illustrations from history's animal anatomists, this is the ideal read for designers, art lovers and scientists alike
