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. Hand-picked from the vast Library of the Natural History Museum, London, the illustrations and artworks contained here form a rare collection, most of which have been presented for the first time in this stunning book.

Between 1768 and 1779, Captain James Cook of the British Royal Navy made three voyages of exploration for purposes of scientific research. On each voyage he kept a log of scenes and adventures. Cook's reputation rose steadily with each voyage largely because Europeans were fascinated with the romance of discovery as well as reports of sexual licence in Tahiti and other Polynesian islands.

Excerpt from Voyages of Discovery and Research Within the Arctic Regions, From the Year 1818 to the Present Time: Under the Command of the Several Naval Officers Employed by Sea and Land in Search of a Northwest Passage From the Atlantic to the Pacific; With Two Attempts to Reach the North Pole If, by bringing forward the present volume, I shall have succeeded in affording gratification to those who are mainly the objects of it, my principal aim will be accomplished: in the compilation of it, I was influenced by the consideration that such an epitome was due to those whose persevering and adventurous exertions for the extension and improvement of science and geography have conferred a public benefit; but it did not escape me that something of this kind was also wanting, and might be acceptable, to supply the place of the official quarto volumes, whose costly size and decorations preclude them from the general and ordinary class of readers. By the copious details they embrace, in every branch of astronomical and nautical science, of geography, meteorology, and other physical researches - the charts and prints by which they are illustrated - they are made highly valuable to the man of science and taste, and well adapted for public libraries, or those generally found in the mansions of the wealthy; but they are not exactly suited for general circulation.
