"In the first monograph devoted to Herbert Bayer's famed 1953 World Geo-Graphic Atlas, Benjamin Benus explores the significance and enduring legacy of the former Bauhaus designer's landmark work of visual education. Drawing on extensive archival documentation, this book illuminates the historical relationships between modern art and scientific illustration in the mid-twentieth century, while assessing the Atlas's contributions to the emerging field of information design"--

If any scientific object has over the course of human history aroused the fascination of both scientists and artists worldwide, it is beyond doubt the moon. The moon is also by far the most interesting celestial body when it comes to reflecting on the dualistic nature of photography as applied to the study of the universe. Against this background, Selene’s Two Faces sets out to look at the scientific purpose, aesthetic expression, and influence of early lunar drawings, maps and photographs, including spacecraft imaging. In its approach, Selene’s Two Faces is intermedial, intercultural and interdisciplinary. It brings together not only various media (photography, maps, engravings, lithographs, globes, texts), and cultures (from Europe, America and Asia), but also theoretical perspectives.

Les archives des bibliothèques et des muséums à travers le monde sont pleines de trésors peu visibles et sous-évalués mais peu d’objets sont aussi délicats et inconnus que les peintures de poissons et invertébrés réalisées à la fin du xviie siècle par Isaac Johannes Lamotius sur la minuscule île Maurice dans l’océan Indien et aux Moluques. Seul et coupé de la vie intellectuelle hollandaise de l’époque, accablé par la tâche quasi impossible de gouverner une petite mais indisciplinée communauté de colons hollandais, Lamotius se consola en étudiant la faune et la flore alors inconnues de l’île. Durant son mandat et quelque temps après quand il fut exilé sur l’île de Rosengain dans l’archipel de Banda, il consacra ses temps libres à dessiner et peindre des animaux aquatiques, en particulier des poissons marins. Bien qu’il en produisit sans doute beaucoup plus, il ne reste plus aujourd’hui qu’un jeu de 250 planches en couleurs dont la totalité est reproduite pour la première fois dans le présent volume. Les planches révélées ici, conservées dans le fonds de la Bibliothèque centrale du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle de Paris, ont été dévoilées par Georges Cuvier au début du XIXe siècle. Ce n’est qu’en 1959 que l’un des auteurs, procédant à une étude comparative détaillée de ces planches et d’autres jeux d’illustrations semblables sur lesquels s’appuyaient de nombreuses publications d’histoire naturelle du XVIIIe siècle, les identifia comme réalisées par Lamotius. Ces dessins sont largement supérieurs à tout ce qui se faisait à la même époque. Ils fournissent la première preuve de l’existence de beaucoup des espèces figurées, avec des données sur leur collecte ; la fidélité scientifique est telle que presque toutes ces espèces peuvent être aisément identifiées. Ensemble, ces planches constituent la description la plus ancienne connue de la faune marine de l’île Maurice et, en cela, une des plus anciennes études des poissons et invertébrés marins de tout…

""If you can't draw it, you don't know it:"" that was the rule of the late neuroanatomist William DeMyer, MD. Yet books do not encourage us to draw and redraw neuroanatomy. Neuroanatomy: Draw It to Know It teaches neuroanatomy through step-by-step instruction of how to draw neuroanatomical pathways and structures. Its instructive language is highly engaging. Users draw neuroanatomical structures and pathways in several steps so they are remembered and use mental and physical mnemonics to demonstrate difficult anatomical rotations and directional pathways. Anatomical pictures and radiographic i

The traditional concept of scientific knowledge places a premium on thinking, not visualizing. Scientific illustrations are still generally regarded as devices that serve as heuristic aids when reasoning breaks down. When scientific illustration is not used in this disparaging sense as a linguistic aid, it is most often employed as a metaphor with no special visual content. What distinguishes pictorial devices as resources for doing science, and the special problems that are raised by the mere presence of visual elements in scientific treatises, tends to be overlooked. The contributors to this volume examine the historical and philosophical issues concerning the role that scientific illustration plays in the creation of scientific knowledge. They regard both text and picture as resources that scientists employ in their practical activities, their value as scientific resources deriving from their ability to convey information.

The book traces major concepts including: the creation of the visual effects of accuracy through careful action and training; the development of visual judgment and connoisseurship; the role of a network in the production of knowledge; balancing readers' expectations with representational conventions; and the effects of acts of collecting on the creation and circulation of knowledge. On the one hand, this study uncovers that approaches to knowledge production were different in the seventeenth century, as compared with in the twenty-first century. On the other, it reveals how the early modern struggle to sort through an overwhelming quantity of visual information - brought on by major changes in image production and circulation - resonates with our own.

Heringman focuses on the illustrators, fieldworkers, and ghostwriters associated with the production of scholarly plate books during the Romantic-era. The volume explores how the expertise acquired by these intellectuals precipitated a major shift in research and forged a broader perception of antiquity transforming intellectual life.
