Summary: Absolutely Delightful
Review: This is the sort of book that somehow gives you an instant vacation to another time and place when you sit down with it. I am basing an art show somewhat loosely on the concept of being an artist-discoverer in a new land as a result of having spent time with this book. I found it to be truly inspiring!

Summary: Voyages of Discovery
Review: We just got this delievered today. What a BEAUTIFUL book! I worked in a used bookstore for four years and have seen a lot of art and photography "coffee table" type books. I have seen few that can rival this for exquisite illustrations. If you or anyone you know has an interest in science history, exploration, biological sciences, or art, this book is a must have. Great diversity of flora and fauna depicted. A breathtaking combination of text and illustration. I originally purchased this for my two oldest boys (ages 13 & 12) for Xmas, but they will need to wait in line until I am done reading and looking at it. This is a wonderful book well worth the price.Frank
