White on Black: Animal Skeletons in the Evolution Photo Album

EVERY DAY IN THE WORLD APPEARS BEAUTIFUL OR IMPOSSIBLE BEAUTIFUL THINGS and some of them can be watched endlessly. Or at least a couple of minutes - to unload the brain, escape from the routine and let your eyes rest.

All photos for this book were taken in the French National Museum of Natural History. Although the format of the album for the coffee table implies a lazy page turning, in content this book is scientific. The skeletons of today's vertebrates bear the imprint of processes that have been going on for millions of years. In each of the forty-four chapters, topics related to evolution are described; photos help to understand why animals that inhabit the planet now look like this and not otherwise.

And yet "Evolution", a book weighing one and a half kilograms, brings primarily aesthetic pleasure: photos of skeletons on a black background can be viewed for hours. If you are worried about the time spent, just imagine that you went to a science museum.
