I'm very much interested in geometric patterns, nature (mostly flowers and sea-life), and intricate design, so I thought I would pick this book up for my reference library in my art studio.

Normally when I receive new books I kind of shelve them and look through them when I have a chance, but as soon as I took this out of the box I wound up looking through it for hours. I couldn't help myself. It's just so weird and cool and amazing. The drawings are absolutely scientific, and when you glance at a page you know you are looking at a scientific drawing (this is not a traditional art book!) but the details are *AMAZING*. Mind-blowing. I could look at this book for hours. And come away totally inspired. It just made me want to grab my technical pens and sketchbook and draw for hours.

This is such a cool book. I can't recommend it enough.

Amazing. We dry mounted many pages and gave them out as holiday gifts. Great price for art and wonderful book to keep around the house! I didn't want to give any away!

Right now i am giving this 3 stars. I may up that to 4 stars with more information

1. Ernst Haeckel. Great stuff, fascinating, awesome pictures. About this there can be no doubt, and in general this is 5 star stuff.

2. People are saying the art is pristine, but i am not sure i am seeing that. I can see blurriness in here and i am not sure the colors are representative of the originals. The coloring of the medusa on the cover is fairly different from the original in the plates in the book. None the less, i have read the other versions available are often B&W and maybe i have too high expectations?

3. Here is my biggest complaint, and where someone can maybe guide me and i may up my review. I am half way through the front matter. There are references to Haeckel's text about the plates. Where the heck is Haeckel's text? Is it not included? Do no versions have the translation of his text??? Also, the section in the back that does provide some detail on the plates in several languages doesnt always seem to provide a clear english explanation of what i am looking at - often the more common name of the organisms doesnt seem present - often times i understand the french taxonomy more than the english. Even if Haeckel's original text isnt fully explanatory (which i get the impression it isnt) why go to the trouble of printing such a fascinating book without a better explanation of the plates? Why not tell me what group of animals is portrayed, and what parts of them are in the various parts of the pictures. The front matter talks about select plates (eg, the center of one illustration is the fish, the outer pictures are of scales; we are only looking at skeletons of radiolarioans; various parts of the pictures depict certain aspects of algae). Providing a clearer guide to what is what would seem a natural for a reprinting of this book.

Essential,
if you are into illustration and nature and patterns. Some pictures are black and white, some are colored, but they are all equally amazing. Get the printed version. Amazing.
