Product Review
"A remarkable array of the artists exquisitely detailed representations of microscopic aquatic life. Compellingly seductive." -- Art Times, July 2005

Product Description
At the nexus of art and science, this dazzling new edition of Ernst Haeckels first work reintroduces the genius of an enigmatic scientist and passionate observer of the natural world.
Although original editions of this book are extremely rare, it is now available for the first time in paperback, beautifully reproducing his drawings and watercolors. While the variety and detail of Haeckels drawings display an impressive understanding of biological structure, the skill with which Haeckel drew these tiny aquatic protozoa renders them genuine works of art. This volume features commentary and descriptions of each of the radiolarians from Haeckels work.
