Cultural History of Animals in the Renaissance
I have considerable interest in geology, so this travelogue about various regions with granite domes intrigued me. Wessels clearly knows the relevant geology, but his deeper passion seems to be for the plants that grow on or near granite outcrops. Unfortunately, the book has no photographs to help the reader appreciate the plants over which he waxes so rhapsodically. Much of the reading consists of his excitement over seeing this or that plant without visual insight that could be appreciated by the reader. I realize that to include color photographs would have changed both the character and cost of such a book. Accepting that caution, I still wish he had opted for more visual info.
