Astonishingly Fascinating
Long time DK fan here, I currently own 35 DK titles. So itâs not a frivolous statement when I say DK may have out-done their self on this one. The micro photography is second to none, opening worlds unseen to the naked eye. Simply incredible.To say I get queasy looking at images of human medical surgery is an understatement. So if youâre a germ-a-phob (no judgment here), youâll need to brace yourself should you decide to open the book. Some things are just creepy or what I donât want to know, i.e. âGut Communitiesâ and âLiving In Hairâ are just two examples. Maybe thatâs why theyâre so small â So we donât see them in our hair! Ever think of that? Now I just pretend theyâre not there.The unbelievably cool part is itâs easy to see The Flower Of Life / Sacred Geometry in many of the images. Mind blown. If you only purchase one DK book in your life, I currently advise you make it this one. Its one of those books where no description will do it justice. You simply have to see it to really get the idea.

One of the most visually stunning books I have ever seen – WOULD MAKE AND EXCELLENT GIFT!!
This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever owned. The visuals are beyond outstanding. The language is clear and concise and very easy to understand. This book will appeal to young and old alike.This book would make an excellent gift for a youngster because it could inspire him/her to pursue science-related studies. I wish I had had such a book when I was a youngster. However, I am thrilled to have it as an adult!I will tell you that on my iPad Air 2, the digital version is a tiny bit glitchy. The pages hesitate a little as they “turn.” However, my device is pretty old, so that certainly could be a factor.If you do decide to buy this book as a gift, get the hard bound. It will make a handsome and very special gift.There is no two ways about it: This book was worth every penny I paid for it. You canât go wrong with this book!!!

Incredible visuals. Descriptions are lacking.
The visuals in this book are incredible. I can tell they used an SEM microscope to take the magnified photos. Amazing! We did, however, have a hard time trying to figure out exactly what we were looking at.

Estará hecho para niños y jóvenes, pero para mi, una Bióloga adulta, impresiona las fotografÃas y breves explicaciones. Una lectura necesaria y porqué no, obligada para tener en casa. Un deleite explorar sus páginas.

I bought this book as an extra and my husband is fascinated by it. Everyday he sits down and reads it for an hour. It is so detailed. Wonderful images.

I only took a short look through it. The book i received was in awful condition, so I returned it. I’ll buy it soon again since the book itself is great.

Gran libro, realizzato con estrema cura, sia didattica sia editoriale. Ovviamente gli argomenti trattati sfiorano appena il mondo delle forme minime ma forniscono tutte le informazioni di base a coloro che intendono approfondire. Splendide le immagini realizzate con il microscopio elettronico a scansione, meno alcune di quelle ottenute con il microscopio ottico, spesso di dimensioni troppo ridotte.
