Amazing Rare Things
The Art of Natural History in the Age of Discovery
David Attenborough
All artists have pondered and been inspired by the natural world. This book, which includes fresh, lucid, and thought-provoking texts by one of the natural worlds best-loved commentators, examines the relationship between five masters of the art of natural history and the worlds they chose to portray, from Leonardos studies of plants and animals to Cassiano dal Pozzos immense Paper Museum; and from the microcosm of an English garden to the new worlds of the Americas.
