Product Description
BBC Focus, October, 2006
This is a major book on an important theme.
Review
There is much to treasure here. Those...looking for a handsome and beguiling study of different ways, scientific or artistic, in which we can mirror nature, will find much to enjoy. (Charlie Gere, TLS )
This is a major book on an important theme...Seen/Unseen is massively well-informed. (Piers Bizony, BBC Focus )
Dive in: the swim is bound to be rewarding... This is a mature book written by a scholar who has meditated for decades on the false dichotomy between scientific and artistic representations of nature. (Bart Kahr, Nature )
What emerges from this multi-faceted closely argued tour de force is a conviction that the real excitement begins where the knowledge breaks down: in the visual institutions that give us the freedom and insight to "feel our way into the unknown". It is a tantalising conclusion to an exhilarating ride. (Ariane Bankes, Financial Times )
