At the young age of thirteen, Maria Sibylla Merian had already begun her systematic entomological research with a study of the silk worm, a description of which opens her second book, entitled Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung ... (The Caterpillar's Wondrous Metamorphosis ...). Motivated by reports on the flora and fauna of Surinam published by missionaries of the pietistic Labadist church, which she joined in 1685, she undertook a perilous journey to the tropics. Following her return home, she had her insect studies - life-sized drawings of insects on parchment - engraved in copper, adding descriptions of each species and its habitat. Four editions of these large-format engravings were published between 1719 and 1771. The epochal accomplishment of the painter, engraver and naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian is to be found in the artistic perfection of her presentation of the results of meticulous entomological research, decades before the appearance of Linné's Systema Naturae in 1735. Following the seminal studies by Elisabeth Rücker, this publication is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Maria Sibylla Merian. It focuses not only on her artistic and scientific achievements but on her role as a publisher and entrepreneur as well. New material on the life and work of this extraordinary artist is provided in the form of unpublished letters and 40 previously unpublished water-colors from her St. Petersburg sketchbook. (German edition available ISBN 3-7757-1226- 7) The artist: Maria Sibylla Merian (Frankfurt a.M., 1647; Amsterdam, 1717). Daughter of the publisher Matthäus Merian. Trained in art by her stepfather, the still-life painter Jakob Marrel. First series of copper engravings of flower motifs as a book of models in 1675; Volume I of Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung und sonderbare Blumennahrung (The Caterpillar's Wondrous Metamorphosis and Strange Flower Nourishment); journey to Surinam (Dutch Guyana) in 1679; first edition of Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium published in 1705.Shipping Notes

Flavored Water I Actually Crave
Flavor Name: Best Sellers Variety Pack, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 12), Flavor Name: Best Sellers Variety Pack, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I didn’t expect to get hooked on a flavored water, but Hint Water Watermelon has honestly become one of my everyday essentials. I usually get bored with plain water, but this hits that perfect balance, it’s just enough flavor to keep things interesting without feeling fake or overpowering.
The watermelon taste is super light and refreshing, like a subtle hint of a fresh slice rather than that overly sweet candy version you get with a lot of drinks. I’ve tried a ton of flavored waters, and this is one of the few that doesn’t leave any weird aftertaste, which is a huge win for me.
I find myself reaching for it throughout the day, especially when I’m trying to stay hydrated but don’t want soda or anything sugary. It just feels clean and easy to drink. At this point, it’s kind of replaced most other drinks for me. I always make sure I have a few bottles on hand.

good water
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I like to taste of this water And I feel like the quality is good. the size of the bottom is perfect for on the go. the water quality is good and it is refreshing. the water doesn't have a bad after taste. The only drawback would be the bottles are a little thin and you have to worry about the durability of them if stacking in the fridge because they could open from pressure. The durability of the bottles are lacking s bit.
