Rainer Willmann. The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel
Эрнст Геккель (1834–1919) был родившимся в Германии биологом, натуралистом, эволюционистом, художником, философом и врачом, который посвятил свою жизнь исследованию флоры и фауны от самых высоких горных вершин до глубочайшего океана. Яростный сторонник и разработчик дарвиновских теорий эволюции, он осуждал религиозные догмы, отказался от ранней карьеры в медицине, написал философские трактаты, получил докторскую степень по зоологии и придумал научные термины, которые вошли в обиход, включая экологию, тип и стволовые клетки. Колоссальное наследие Геккеля очаровывало, сбивало с толку и поляризовало поколения. Но что было в основе его выдающейся работы в жизни? Подобно своему интеллектуальному предшественнику Александру фон Гумбольдту, Геккель был заинтересован не только в открытиях, но и в объяснении. Для этого он создал сотни подробных рисунков, акварелей и зарисовок своих находок, которые опубликовал в последовательных томах в течение 20-го века, включая несколько коллекций морских организмов и величественную «Kunstformen der Natur» («Формы искусства в природе»), которые могли бы послужить как краеугольный камень всего жизненного проекта Геккеля.Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor, who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin's theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, abandoned an early career in medicine, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell.Haeckel's colossal legacy has fascinated, confounded, and polarized generations. But what was at the heart of his extraordinary life's work? Rather like his intellectual forebear, Alexander von Humboldt, Haeckel was motivated not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes during the 20th century, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel's entire life project.

Для этого он создал сотни подробных рисунков, акварелей и набросков своих открытий, которые опубликовал в последовательных томах, включая несколько коллекций морских организмов и величественную книгу «Kunstformen der Natur» («Формы искусства в природе»), которая могла послужить краеугольным камнем Проект всей жизни Геккеля. Подобно тщательной визуальной энциклопедии живых существ, работа Геккеля была столь же замечательна как своей графической точностью и тщательной штриховкой, так и пониманием органической эволюции. От летучих мышей до коробчатых медуз, от ящериц до лишайников, от паучьих лапок до морских анемонов — Геккель подчеркивал существенную симметрию и порядок природы и находил биологическую красоту даже в самых невероятных существах.В этой книге мы отмечаем научную, художественную и экологическую значимость работ Геккеля, представляя коллекцию из 300 его лучших гравюр из нескольких его наиболее важных томов, включая Die Radiolarien, Monography der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme и Kunstformen der Natur. . В то время, когда биоразнообразию все больше угрожает деятельность человека, эта книга одновременно является визуальным шедевром, подводным исследованием и ярким напоминанием о драгоценном разнообразии жизни.Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean.

Gooley Tristan The Natural Navigator
Discover the lost art of reading nature's own signposts with this beautiful tenth anniversary edition of The Natural Navigator.

Dawkins Richard The Selfish Gene. 40th Anniversary Edition
The million copy international bestseller, critically acclaimed and translated into over 25 languages. As influential today as when it was first published, The Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution - a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for their replication. This imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant work not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty years later, its insights remain as relevant today as on the day it was published. This 40th anniversary edition includes a new epilogue from the author discussing the continuing relevance of these ideas in evolutionary biology today, as well as the original prefaces and foreword, and extracts from early reviews. Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures.In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel’s work, with a collection of 450 of his finest prints from several of his most important tomes, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwamme, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life.

Araki Nobuyoshi Araki
Decades' worth of images have been distilled down to 512 pages of photographs in this ultimate retrospective collection of Nobuyoshi Araki's work, selected by the artist himself. First published as a Limited Edition and now back in a new format to celebrate TASCHEN's 40th anniversary, the curation delves deep into Araki's best-known imagery: Tokyo street scenes; faces and foods; colorful, sensual flowers; female genitalia; and the Japanese art of kinbaku, or bondage. As girls lay bound but defiant and glistening petals assume suggestive shapes, Araki plays constantly with patterns of subjugation and emancipation, death and desire and with the slippage between serene image and shock. Describing his bondage photographs as "a collaboration between the subject and the photographer", Araki seeks to come closer to his female subjects through photography, emphasizing the role of spoken conversation between himself and the model. In his native Japan, he has attained cult status for many women who feel liberated by his readiness to photograph the expression of their desire.
