Reviews
the artwork itself is wonderfully reproduced on matte paper in numerous half- and full-page images, as well as full-page spreads [...] far from being gory or gruesome, contains fantastic imagery spanning a wide span of time. It contains many works well-known to most biologists, but will undoubtedly introduce you to new and unknown artworks. [...] And it makes a sure-fire gift for that person in your life who loves the interface of biology and art. * The Inquisitive Biologist *
