Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin’s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell.
At the heart of Haeckel’s colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel’s entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures.
In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel’s work, with a collection of 450 of his finest prints from several of his most important tomes, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life.

Julia Voss a étudié la littérature allemande, l'histoire de l'art et la philosophie à l'université Albert-Ludwigs de Fribourg, à l'université Humboldt de Berlin et au Goldsmith's College de Londres. Sa thèse de doctorat sur les représentations visuelles de la théorie darwinienne de l'évoltution a reçu la médaille Otto Hahn décernée par la société Max-Planck. Elle est rédactrice en chef adjointe culturelle, et l'une des rédactrices du service des beaux-arts du Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Rainer Willmann occupe la chaire de zoologie à l'université de Göttingen, où il est directeur du musée zoologique. Spécialiste de phlogénétique et d'évolution, il mène également des recherches sur la biodiversité et son histoire. Il est enfin le co-fondateur du Centre pour la recherche sur la biodiversité et l'écologie de l'université de Göttingen.
Conozca a Ernst Haeckel, el biólogo del siglo XIX que descubrió la belleza en las criaturas más insospechadas. Esta colección presenta 450 láminas de sus obras, como Kunstformen der Natur (Formas artísticas en la naturaleza) y sus extensos catálogos sobre la vida marina. En un momento en el que la biodiversidad está cada vez más amenazada, estas imágenes únicas componen una obra maestra científica, artística y medioambiental.

gebunden. Etat : Neu. Neu -Die Kunst kommt aus dem Meer - Ernst Haeckels Lithografien. Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) war ein deutscher Biologe, Naturforscher, Evolutionist, Künstler, Philosoph und Arzt, der sein ganzes Leben damit verbrachte, die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt von den höchsten Berggipfeln bis in die tiefsten Weltmeere zu erforschen. Als leidenschaftlicher Verfechter und Fortentwickler der Theorien Darwins verfasste er philosophische Abhandlungen, promovierte in Zoologie und prägte wissenschaftliche Begriffe, die bis in die Alltagssprache von heute vordrangen, wie Ökologie, Stamm (Phylum) und Stammzelle. Wie sein geistiger Vorfahr Alexander von Humboldt wollte Haeckel nicht nur entdecken, sondern auch erklären. Dazu fertigte er Hunderte detaillierter Zeichnungen, Aquarelle und Skizzen seiner Forschungsergebnisse, die er im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert in mehreren Bänden veröffentlichte, unter anderem in einer Reihe meeresbiologischer Monografien sowie in seinen prachtvollen Kunstformen der Natur, die als Zusammenfassung seines Lebenswerks betrachtet werden könnten. Die Drucke waren nicht nur für die Naturforschung von Bedeutung, sondern beeinflussten Generationen von Künstlern und Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts, vor allem die Vertreter des Jugendstils. Dieser Band zeigt Drucke aus einigen der wichtigsten Veröffentlichungen Haeckels, aus »Die Radiolarien«, »Monographie der Medusen«, »Die Kalkschwämme: eine Monographie« und seinem berühmtesten Werk, »Kunstformen der Natur«. In einer Zeit, in der die Artenvielfalt zunehmend durch menschliches Handeln bedroht wird, ist dieses Buch nicht nur ein visueller Genuss sondern auch eine eindringliche Erinnerung daran, wie wichtig die Vielfalt des Lebens ist.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Microbial marvels Ernst Haeckel, the 19th-century pioneer who captured the artistic beauty of the natural world Ernst Haeckel (1834 1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor, who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, abandoned an early career in medicine, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell. Haeckel s colossal legacy has fascinated, confounded, and polarized generations. But what was at the heart of his extraordinary life s work? Rather like his intellectual forebear, Alexander von Humboldt, Haeckel was motivated not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes during the 20th century, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel s entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution and cellular development. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, he emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. The prints not only furthered the study of natural history but also influenced generations of 20th-century artists and architects, from the emerging proponents of Art Nouveau to architects such as Hendrik Petrus Berlage, whose Amsterdam Commodities Exchange was inspired by Haeckel s illustrations. In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel s work, with a collection of prints from several of his most important tomes on marine biology, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwamme: eine Monographie, and Kunstformen der Natur.
