## Description

Imagine a world without Principia Mathematica, Rights of Man , the Bible, Shakespeare, or the Mahabharata. Remarkable Books features 75 of the world’s most momentous titles – from The Art of War to Anne Frank’s Diary – and reveals their far-ranging impact. Books are the medium through which scientists, storytellers, and philosophers introduce their ideas. Discover seminal religious and political titles, cornerstones of science such as On the Origin of Species , and ancient texts such as the I Ching , which is still used today to answer fundamental questions about human existence. Get up close to see fascinating details, such as Vesalius’ exquisite anatomical illustrations in Epitome , Leonardo da Vinci’s annotated notebooks, or the hand-decorated pages in the Gutenberg Bible. Discover why Euclid’s Elements of Geometry was the most influential maths title ever published, and marvel at rare treasures such as the Aubin Codex , which tells the history of the Aztecs and the early Spanish colonial period in Mexico. Remarkable Books gathers stories, diaries, scientific treatises, plays, dictionaries, and religious texts into a stunning celebration of the power of books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well ... a Remarkable Book!
*by P***R on 16 May 2020*

This beautiful, large size album sets out to present and discuss some sixty books that have marked history, from Antiquity to the 20th century. Though the Anglosphere is favoured to some degree, there is a definite opening to other cultures, notably European, with references to books in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, etc. A very wide range of genres is covered and, for instance, The Dead Sea Scrolls, “Das Kapital” and “The Wizard of Oz” are all included. The books are presented chronologically, grouped in five time periods. At least two pages are vested to each, often four, sometimes six. The text is brief and to the point. It touches the author’s biography, explores the contents of the work and examines its historical impact. However, what makes this book truly outstanding is the abundance and quality of its colour illustrations, excerpts of each work reviewed. The extracts of Audubon’s “Birds of America” are for instance positively striking. Overall, this offering is warmly recommended to all, especially those who appreciate books, history, or the diversity of human cultures.
