Reviews
...a glorious book... his influence on art and the natural sciences remains profound, and his stunning artworks continue to stand the test of time., The book's prints and commentary shed new light on the prolific output of Ernst Haeckel and his impact on modern science and philosophy., Through Haeckel's steady hand everyone can grasp the beauty, the elegance - and sometimes the sadness - in all walks of life., ...as energetic and colorful as Haeckel's life. It's scientific eye candy that feels as fresh as Haeckel's groundbreaking biological art must have seemed more than a century ago.
