because there are so many compelling images that deserve a closer look, whether
its a publicity portrait of a young Etta James (taken by Hollywood photogra-
pher John E. Reed) or the 78 label of Adam Bit the Apple, recorded by Big Joe
Turner for Houstons Freedom Recording Co., which used the Statue of Liberty
as part of its graphics.DownBeat

The Paper Zoo

500 Years of Animals in Art
CHARLOTTE SLEIGH
Sleigh tracks pictures of animals from medieval bestiaries to early twentieth-
century school posters. Along the way she uncovers some fascinating stories.
. . . There are plenty of masterpieces here, from gorgeous illustrations of sea
anemones and delightful black and white monkeys to borderline animals
(half-imaginary, half real) like a many-legged stick insect and a Domesticated
Female Orang Outang. Wall Street Journal
Whether it serves as an addition to the natural history buffs collection or
as a first expedition into the golden era of zoological illustration, it is a deeply
satisfying book. Sleigh . . . has created a space where contemporary readers,
however steeped in visual media they may be, can marvel at the pure alchemy
of ink and paint and pulp.American Scientist

The Book of Orchids

A Life-Size Guide to Six Hundred Species from around the World
MARK CHASE, MAARTEN CHRISTENHUSZ, and TOM MIRENDA
One in every seven flowering plants on earth is an orchid. Yet orchids retain an air of
exotic mysteryand they remain remarkably misunderstood and underappreciated.
The orchid family contains an astonishing array of colors, forms, and smells that
captivate growers from all walks of life across the globe. Though undeniably elegant,
the popular moth orchida grocery store standardis a bland stand-in when com-
pared with its thousands of more complex and fascinating brethren. The Book of
Orchids revels in the diversity and oddity of these beguiling plants. Six hundred of
the worlds most intriguing orchids are displayed, along with life-size photographs
that capture botanical detail, as well as information about distribution, peak flower-
ing period, and each species unique attributes, both natural and cultural.

Botanical Art from the Golden Age of

Scientific Discovery
ANNA LAURENT
These illustrations date back through the 19th and 20th centuries and are
quite transportiveits incredible to see the artistry of such scientific discov-
eries, and to think just how significant and advanced they must have been
for the time. Yet, theres a timelessness to every illustration in this book, as
theres no denying the beauty and awe that nature continues to offer.Cool
Hunting
In the era of computer presentations and emphasis on innovative teaching,
it might be difficult to appreciate the importance once given to botanical wall
charts in science education. [Here] the reader is introduced to these beauti-
ful wall charts. These are re-created in large format, stunning color, and are
arranged according to plant families. Each family is briefly described and fol-
lowed by representative charts.Choice

PHILOSOPHY
Philosophers at Table
On Food and Being Human
RAYMOND D. BOISVERT and LISA HELDKE
The great philosophers of the past are widely consid-
ered and their theories analyzed, but the goal is not to
provide a historical excursus on what thinkers of the
past wrote about food. The authors compare their work
to plumbing in the sense that they try to understand the
nuts and bolts of how things work and above all how
ideas and valuesoften taken for granted and never
fully discussedgreatly shape the way we understand
and interact with the world.Huffington Post
Boisvert and Heldke are proceeding from our
shared, lived experience as people with stomachs, so
prior familiarity with the work of Immanuel Kant and
Rene Descartes is not needed. The book is carved with
that crisp, clear precision common to academic philoso-
phy texts, never advancing any idea an inch without a
concise explanation of its origin.PopMatters
