Strikingly original and abundantly illustrated, The Art of Biodiversity surveys the golden age of natural history art, exploring the alliance between scientists and artists that first revealed the astonishing diversity of life on Earth.

With more than 330 color illustrations of surpassing beauty, this book reveals a story about art that’s not in the art history books, and a story about science that’s missing from histories of science. Here, such giants as Linnaeus, Buffon, Cuvier, Humboldt, and Darwin cross paths with superb artists, including Merian, Redouté, Audubon, and Haeckel, among many others.

An essential visual companion to popular narratives like Andrea Wulf’s The Invention of Nature and Jason Roberts’s Every Living Thing, this volume provides a definitive archival record of the era that defined modern biology.

Between 1700 and 1900, an art movement unveiled nature’s great secret: the global diversity of life-forms. Centuries before the word “biodiversity” existed, naturalists began to glimpse the reality that lay behind Charles Darwin’s lyrical evocation of nature’s “endless forms most beautiful.”

The naturalists recruited artists to create a family album of Earth, with every picture a precise drawing of a species of plant or animal, and so science and art, for the first and last time, went exploring together.

This art first appeared in vividly illustrated books that, in a world without photography or film, offered readers a vastly expanded vision of nature. The Art of Biodiversity introduces the reader to the extraordinary men and women who created these books. They focused exquisite artistic skills on nature, traded in exotic seashells and butterflies, collected bird and monkey specimens in tropical rainforests, dredged strange invertebrates from the depths of the ocean, peered through magnifying lenses at insects, and dug prehistoric bones out of the earth.

After sinking out of sight in the twentieth century, biodiversity art resurfaced in the twenty-first in myriad forms that reach millions of people on the Internet, as the natural history books in the world’s great libraries were digitized and made available to all.

Chronicling the only art movement that successfully aligned the goals of art and science, for the transcendent purpose of documenting and understanding the natural world, The Art of Biodiversity is a must-have for historians of science, collectors of botanical and zoological art, and anyone captivated by the enduring beauty of the living world.

Great oil
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro 5W-40
OEM for many European cars. Have utilized for years in my 2 Fiat Abarth's, great oil at a competitive price and if you change oil yourself you save quite a bit as compared to dealers or other shops. No breakdown even with the excessive heat the little 1.4L turbo puts out, great oil to rely on.

Meets Chrysler Mopar spec for Wrangler and Gladiator 3.0 diesel
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro 5W-40
Cheaper than Walmart and auto stores. Meets Chrysler spec and way cheaper than the Mopar oil the dealers want to sell for the 3.0 diesel in Jeeps. You’ll need 9 qts.

Great oil for 124 spider
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro 5W-40
I use Pennzoil Platinum Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40 in my Fiat 124 Spider, and it’s been great so far. The engine runs smooth and quiet, and cold starts feel solid. No issues with oil consumption, and it holds up well between changes. The 6-pack of 1-quart bottles is convenient and makes it easy to measure out exactly what I need. Overall, it’s a quality synthetic oil at a good value. I’ll keep using it in my 124 Spider.
