# Voyages of Discovery by A. L. Rice (Paperback)

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.
