Kurzbeschreibung
In 2358, wildlife artist Wayne Douglas Barlowe joined the first manned flight to Darwin IV, fourth planet in the newly discovered F-Class binary system 6.5 light years from Earth. Now his long-awaited account of that historic journey has been published. More vivid than the holos and more interpretive than the videos, these extraordinary paintings, plus numerous drawings, studies, and sketchbook pages, transport the reader to a wild, beautiful, untouched world-a planet teeming with incredible beasts and exotic vegetation.
"Expedition" is the most important travel book of the 24th century. Selection of the Science Fiction Book Club and the Astronomy Book Club.

If one would write about an ecosystem so abundand as the one on earth. It would take them years to do that. It doesnt have to be that complex. This book is very interesting and good for young adults. One cannot say that that the animals have to be like the ones on earth. They dont have jaws but they are liquivores (meaning they inject digestive enzymes into the prey and suck the digensted bits) even on earth there are liquivotes i.e. flies, spiders etc. They send out ultrasonic waves and percieve them, therefore they have no need for eyes. Thank you.

Expedition is an absorbing, detailed, elaborate, and fully convincing account of a futuristic voyage to Darwin IV and an observation of it's fauna. The illustrations contain excellent detail and have an almost photographic quality. While reading this book, I was totally emersed.

The fictional planet of Darwin IV is a beautiful and interesting place for any wildlife artist (sauch as Mr. Barlowe). His artwork is fabulous and the individual animals are interesting and workable. However, although the animals are inteesting in and of themsleves, besides certain universal features (like the absence of eyes and jaws), they seem to have nothing in comman. While all Earlthly land vertibrates have or had four limbs (hece the name terapods). Barlowe's creations all seem to have different numbers of limbs and no explanation is given as to why. There is also none of the intricate ecosystems that grace Earth. It seems that Mr. Barlowe has created many different biotas and crammed them together on one planet. I suggest this book for fun and for its great artwork, but not for it's scientific value.

Expedition was created with pure imagination, yet the wildlife that inhabit the dream world of Darwin IV are all quite plausible. Lesen Sie weiter...

Hey! This book's storyline is weak but adaquete enough to provide an excuse for the pictures. Although the art is top noch, I feel this book could have been made into something... Lesen Sie weiter...
