by Alexander Devenport (Author)
Scientific illustration is a discipline that proves a desire to learn about the world and record the unknown or recently discovered. I am of the opinion that art and science should always be brought closer together. I applaud those who find efficient ways to construct work that requires the self-education of several disciplines and skills. This book does indeed attempt to combine art and science... but in the worst way ever. I have taken a scientific achievement and turned it into post-modern art. Which was then turned into a pointless coffee table book. There are 100 illustrations in this book which are filled with absolute fluff. These are the rantings of a drunk man talking to his internet friends. You will get nothing out of this except a few giggles and, possibly, satisfaction that you bought a pointless icebreaker for parties.
