This article, from USA Today, made me start thinking about what I want for Christmas. (And not just because I know that my Mom checks this regularly. Hi Mom!) The article lists some of the best visual science books of 2008.
The fist book recommended was Voyages of Discovery: A Visual celebration of Ten of the Greatest Natural History Expeditions. The book includes hundreds of reproductions of naturalist drawings from the Natural History Museum in London. Drawings include images from Darwin's first voyage to the Galapagos Islands to the HMS Challenger's early expedition to map out the oceans floor.
Another book recommended is Thinkers of the Jungle: The Orangutan Report. This book pays attention to the forgotten primate cousin, the Orangutan. The book even includes a chapter on how to introduce oneself properly to an Orangutan. Helpful information, surely.
