ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.

Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.
Ferdinand Bauer is seen by many as the
greatest natural history painter of all time. Hand-picked by Joseph Banks, in 1801-1805 Bauer accompanied Matthew
Flinders during his circumnavigation of Australia, and lived in New South Wales
and Norfolk Island. Already celebrated in Europe for the precision and beauty
of his paintings, it was during this commission that Bauer perfected the technique
of sketching and colour-coding in the field, and then colouring later - painting by numbers.
This fascinating new study of Bauer's work
includes reproductions of never-before-published works from collections in
Europe and Australia. Written by one
of the world's foremost botanical scholars, Painting
by Numbers reveals Bauer's innovative colour-coding technique for the firt
time.
