中文简介：

从**次详细绘制月球到描绘干细胞，这组科学插图追溯了从15世纪至今的视觉知识历史。本书展示了科学领域中约300个里程碑式事件，它们记录了人类的伟大发现。

探索知识

探索改变世界的科学发现

科学和插图总是携手并进，不仅是科学界，普通民众从历史早期就开始使用图像材料来理解自然现象。此外，从伽利略到爱因斯坦，我们的现代史都是在艺术及其提供的所有见解的重要支撑下书写的。这本XL大小的书收集了300多件插图作品，包括原始草图、技术图纸、细致多彩的手工插图，以及计算机生成的图像等。

西方的科学革命始于14世纪，带领人类以一种全新的方式来理解自然和周围的世界。从病毒引起的疾病到浩瀚的宇宙星系，一群新的专业人士开始利用理论和证据之间的辩证关系，来解开和重塑我们的世界。插图领域和知识发展交织在一起，变得密不可分，从本书中展示的由专门从事这一综合领域的科学家和艺术家创作的宏伟作品可以看出这一点。

本书通过栩栩如生的视觉作品探索了700多位科学家的工作和300多项在解剖学、物理学、化学、天文学、机械学和其他许多科学领域的发现。本书中的插图与解释其科学意义的详细文字相结合，介绍了安德烈亚斯·维萨留斯（Andreas Vesalius）、艾萨克·牛顿（Isaac Newton）、玛丽·居里（Marie Curie）和罗莎琳·富兰克林（Rosalind Franklin）等先锋科学家的工作。视觉作品本身呈现了从15世纪至今的改变游戏规则的想法和发现，特别是伽利略的月球水彩画、布尔热里（Bourgery）精美的《人体解剖和手术图谱》、弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔（Florence Nightingale）统计战争伤亡的玫瑰图，以及爱因斯坦快速写下的关于广义相对论的想法。

科学中的许多发现都是反直觉思维的结果，科学家为了让他们的工作可视化，必须与集体知识资源建立联系，将新的信息传达给人们。这本书是为每一个对世界奇迹感到好奇的人而写的，帮助他们通过用于介绍科学认识进展的杰出插图来了解更多的信息。

英文简介：

From the first detailed drawing of the moon to the depiction of stem cells, this collection of scientific illustrations traces the visual history of knowledge from the 15th century to today. Some 300 milestones in all fields of science chronicle humanity's great discoveries through the work of those who studied and documented them.

The Quest for Knowledge

Pictorial insights into scientific discoveries that have changed the world

Science and illustration have always walked hand in hand, and not only the scientific community but the general public as well have used images since early history to understand natural phenomena. Moreover, from Galileo to Einstein, our modern history has been written with the key support of art and with all the insights it contributes. This XL-sized book collects more than 300 graphic works that range from original sketches to technical drawings, and from meticulous hand illustrations to computer-generated images.

The Western scientific revolution that started in the 14th century catapulted humankind into a completely new way of understanding how nature and the world around us behaved. Whether it was diseases caused by viruses or the vast galaxies of the cosmos, a new army of professionals turned their minds to unlocking and reshaping the universe of our experience with a dialectic positioned between theory and evidence. The field of illustration and the development of knowledge became inseparably intertwined, as can be seen by the majestic works shown in this book that were produced by the scientists and artists who specialized in this combined field.

Explore here the work of more than 700 scientists and over 300 discoveries in anatomy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, and many other scientific fields, through the visual works that bring them to life. Combined with detailed texts explaining their scientific significance, the illustrations in this book introduce the work of such pionieering scientists as Andreas Vesalius, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin. The visualizations themselves present game-changing ideas and discoveries from the 15th century to the present day, notably including Galileo's watercolors of the moon, Bourgery's unparalleled Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery, Florence Nightingale's statistical diagrams to indicate war casualties, and Einstein's quickly scribbled ideas for his general theory of relativity.

Many discoveries in science take place as the result of counterintuitive thinking, and in order to visualize their work scientists have to connect with the resources of collective knowledge and in turn convey new information back to people. This book is for everyone who is continually amazed by the wonders of our world and who wants to find out more about it through the remarkable illustrations used to present advances in scientific understanding.
