Schon im Alter von 13 Jahren betrieb Maria Sibylla Merian erste systematische Insektenstudien am Beispiel des Seidenspinners. Waren die Insekten zunächst nur Beiwerk ihrer Blumenbilder, so rückte der »Raupen wunderbare Verwandlung« zunehmend in den Mittelpunkt ihrer Untersuchungen, die sie mit eigenen Kupferstichen in einem mehrbändigen Werk veröffentlichte und selbst verlegte. Ihr bedeutendstes Buch, das großformatige Kupferstichwerk über die surinamischen Schmetterlinge, war das Ergebnis einer zweijährigen gefahrvollen Forschungsreise in die Tropen und machte sie über ihren Tod hinaus berühmt. Nach den grundlegenden Arbeiten von Elisabeth Rücker ist diese Publikation die erste zusammenfassende Monografie zum OEuvre Maria Sibylla Merians. Ihre Lebensleistung wird nicht nur unter künstlerischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Aspekten betrachtet, sondern auch im Hinblick auf ihre Stellung als Verlegerin und Unternehmerin, die sie zu einem Leitbild in der hier kritisch untersuchten feministischen Literatur gemacht hat. Der vollständige Abdruck ihrer Briefe und vor allem 40 ihrer bisher noch nie gezeigten Aquarelle sowie das Studienbuch aus der St. Petersburger Akademie bieten neues Material zu Leben und Werk der außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin. (Englische Ausgabe erhältlich ISBN 3-7757-0751-4) Zur Künstlerin: Maria Sibylla Merian (Frankfurt/Main 1647-1717 Amsterdam). Tochter des Verlegers Matthäus Merian. Künstlerische Ausbildung bei ihrem Stiefvater, dem Stilllebenmaler Jakob Marrel. 1675 erste Kupferstichfolge mit Blumendarstellungen als Vorlagenbuch; 1679 Band I des dreiteiligen »Raupenbuchs«; 1699-1701 Reise nach Surinam (Holländisch Guyana); 1705 erste Ausgabe der »Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium«.

Great Value
I've been really happy with this watch. I like a bigger, "chunkier" watch, and I specifically did NOT want smart watch features. This is a great weekend and chores watch. I can beat it up, do work in it, and not worry about it. And surprisingly, it's been pretty bullet proof so far. Since I've worn a watch for almost my whole life, I barely notice when I have one on. And I am not precious about them at all. This watch has hit countless door frames, washed hundreds of dishes in hot water, scrapes against the wall, tools, yard equipment. It's been absolutely rock-steady and I haven't needed to adjust the time at all, other than for daylight savings. At the price, it's unbeatable.

Fantastic for the money
I use this watch at work, so about 40 hours a week I wear it. I work outside in a commonly rainy area, and it's not uncommon for the watch to get wet. I've had it for a couple months or so now, and it really works great! Honestly all of the complaints I have about it can be fixed solely by looking at the price. The viewing angle isn't fantastic - it's a $13 watch. It does lose a little bit of time (a second or two within a week, maybe) - it's a $13 watch. The band is a bit uncomfortable (though it does hold very well, and has lots of size options) - it's a $13 watch. Those are minor things. Here's the good stuff. -Super easy to read -Very easy to use and set -Multiple features -Is genuinely waterproof. I haven't held it underwater, or anything, but for what I would consider 'average' use, it is perfectly waterproof. -Has an adjustable band that doesn't fall off -Fairly tough. I don't treat mine very well and it's held up perfectly fine so far. -It's cheap!

Cheap Gshock replacement, good value
For $13 this is a steal. It's essentially a casio illuminator w larger bright dial, press once for 5 sec of light then goes dark. Date, time (12 and 24hr), stop watch. The basics, all I needed. A+ Edit: updated the waterproofing is non-existent. It's not even water resistant so treat accordingly don't bring into the shower. The face plastic cracked on me from moderate use, still legible and since I don't test it with water not an issue. The buttons are very sensitive so activities like lifting can cause the bottom left button to depress and switch to stopwatch, or engage the stopwatch. After over a year use I still rank this as a good value. It does the one thing I wish Casio would do is improve light illumination time. The buttons depress easier than Casio's which is a bonus imo, but can be aggravating to some. The water resistance doesn't exist so purchase accordingly.
