- Spectacular, mysterious or elegant: animals as you never saw them before!
- A unique and surprising family album to observe and compare skeletons and better understand evolution.
Further to a remarkable photography campaign in the riches of several natural history museums, Éditions Xavier Barral published in 2007 a book entitled Évolution. Its treasurable content is now made attractive and accessible to a younger audience, with the same scientific rigour but a new design and a humorous "twist".
The evolutionary theory Darwin proposed in the 19th century is now widely confirmed. This book conveys this scientific reality in a playful and educational manner through several stories of skeletons. The skeletons of the vertebrates that inhabit the Earth today carry within them the imprint of the evolutionary process that has lasted over several billion years.
The short texts of this book, full of humour, unveil how this process shaped these skeletons according to their environment and needs. Impressive photographs of animal skeletons are enhanced by a combination of black and colourful backgrounds with flaps and fold out pages.
Such a playful and graphic layout perfectly complements the subtle shades and the liveliness of the black and white photographs. On each double page, the flap comes as an answer to the issue tackled in the text, and adds to the dynamism of the book.
