Moreover, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003efrom Galileo to Einstein\u003c\/span\u003e, our \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003emodern history has been written with the key support of art\u003c\/span\u003e and with all the insights it contributes. This XL-sized book collects \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003emore than 300 graphic works\u003c\/span\u003e that range from original sketches to technical drawings, and from meticulous hand illustrations to computer-generated images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Western scientific revolution that started in the 14th century catapulted humankind into a completely new way of understanding how nature and the world around us behaved. Whether it was diseases caused by viruses or the vast galaxies of the cosmos, a new army of professionals turned their minds to unlocking and reshaping the universe of our experience with a dialectic positioned between theory and evidence. The field of illustration and the development of knowledge became inseparably intertwined, as can be seen by the \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003emajestic works \u003c\/span\u003eshown in this book that were produced \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eby the scientists and artists \u003c\/span\u003ewho specialized in this combined field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore here the work of more than \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e700 scientists and over 300 discoveries\u003c\/span\u003e in anatomy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, and many other scientific fields, through the visual works that bring them to life. \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eCombined with detailed texts\u003c\/span\u003e explaining their scientific significance, the illustrations in this book introduce the work of such pionieering scientists as \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAndreas Vesalius\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eIsaac Newton\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e Marie Curie\u003c\/span\u003e, and \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eRosalind Franklin\u003c\/span\u003e.
