About this book

Originally published in 1999 and now published in a new edition with a refreshed format, this is a mesmerising visual record of ten of the world's 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.
