About this title

Review:

'It's difficult to resist attacking this book with a pair of scissors. Not because it's bad, far from it, but because so many of the illustrations whisper 'Cut me out and stick me on the wall over the mantelpiece.' --Geographical: Magazine of the Royal Geographical Society

'A mesmerising visual and textual record of ten of the most significant natural history expeditions in history.' --Good Book Guide

'Nature lovers should enjoy Voyages of Discovery with hundreds of naturalist drawings from the Natural History Museum.' --USA Today
