BOOK REVIEWEDVisions of Nature: The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel

by Olaf Breidbach

Prestel: 2006. 304 pp. $100, £55

When Nature's centenary issue of 1900 listed the most important scientists of the age, only one German biologist was included: Ernst Haeckel, professor of zoology at the University of Jena. Reckoned to have been instrumental to the introduction of darwinism to Germany, Haeckel has also inspired generations of scientists with his stunning drawings of the natural world.
