Words can hardly express the awe and wonder one feels when observing the intricate patterns of nature captured and published in this book. Even a 10 year old child was fascinated. No human being could create the beauty and perfection in form and function of the natural world, of which only a smidgeon, is shown in this remarkable book. It is a treasure.
I just love this. I have read it several times now - and when I want inspiration for art I read it again. When I just want to be reminded of the beauty in this world I read it.I am awed by the actual design of things in this world and its intricacy at this microscopic level. Its on my coffee table - visitors inevitably pick it up and the conversations that follow are so much more enjoyable and different. A book to inspire, challenge and delight - eye candy in the extreme. I expecially recommend it to creative people - a book of beauty.
I have almost all the books available on scanning electron microscope images. This is a great addition to the field - stunning photos and very insightful text. If you enjoy this type of work this book will not disappoint. It literally expands our definitions of reality to see so much exquisite detail that our unaided vision cannot access.
Fascinating; I acquired it for the grandchildren to look at, and we've had some lively sessions. When their reading is up to this level, I hope they'll learn even more. I think it's good to be aware that there's more to life than we can see in the day-to-day.
These type of photos fascinate me. I love to look at them when I have free time. No telling what is going on in the microscopic world!
The photography was exquisite. This is a book I will treasure forever. Not only is the book filled with photographs, but also nicely written descriptions.
I got this together with "The Human Body Close Up." They were my Christmas presents to myself. I agree with the previous reviewer that it makes you appreciate the creator when you are able to see the complex systems underlying creation. The photography is truly amazing and it is fascinating to see the cellular structure of hte natural world. This would make a great science textbook for students. I can't imagine anyone not being amazed.
This gives new appreciation for everyday items we see around us.
