Beautiful - A Celebration of Evolution

But we should drop those opinions - everything has evolved for a reason, and is perfect in its own way. Take a look at the vampire squid, or the duck-billed golden line barbel - both have evolved in interesting and amazing ways to find food, deter predators or attract a mate.

About the author

William Spring began his career as a cartoonist, working for Private Eye and the Spectator.

He has also worked as an archaeological illustrator - an activity that led him to 'all sorts of hot and uncomfortable places', including the Western Sahara.

Having written and illustrated over a dozen picture books for children (under the pseudonym Alborozo) William Spring has returned to his love of natural history painting, producing stunning watercolour drawings with the philosophy that there is nothing in nature that is not beautiful.
