520 8  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.
