Originally published in 1899, The History of Creation is a two
volume set which applies a doctrine to the whole range of organic
morphology and make use of the effect Darwin had on biological
sciences during the 19th century. Haeckel looks at Darwin's reform
of Descent Theory and its establishment through the doctrine of
selection. He introduces Descent Theory into the systematic
classification of animals and plants and finds a "natural system"
on the basis of genealogy - that is, to construct hypothetical
pedigrees for the various species of organisms. The book will be of
interest to those studying natural history and the origins of
modern scientific thought, it will appeal to researchers both in
the natural sciences and in history.

Perfect for display or close observation, the posters in this
elegantly produced collection of Ernst Haeckel's exquisite
illustrations of natural forms demonstrate his exceptional
artistry. Biologist, physician, philosopher, and artist, Ernst
Haeckel was also a prescient observer of the natural world. His
highly detailed and expertly rendered illustrations, first
published at the turn of the 20th century, are not only beautiful
works of art, but also have scientific underpinnings. Now available
as a series of large format posters sumptuously printed and
suitable for framing, Haeckel's most elaborate and captivating
works illustrate his fundamental notion of the unity of all living
things. From otherworldly radiolaria to psychedelic sea anemones,
Haeckel's science and artistry continue to provide inspiration for
21st-century illustrators, architects, graphic designers, and
anyone interested in exploring nature's perfect geometry.
