"Just once in a while, 5 stars aren't enough. This book is far more than amazing, its stupendously, fantastically, magically wonderful (and that isn't hyperbole!) The book, as the introduction makes clear, is a book of scientific illustrations of primitive organisms. But the illustrations are other-worldly both in form and in the feeling they give that rotifers, protozoans and medusae don't just inhabit scarcely-visible parts of our world, no they have their own world which we can barely glimpse into, as different and exotic as any science-fiction artwork.
If I wasn't at all interested in science, I would still want to own this book. Indeed, until I was forced to sell it (a good offer was made and, after all I am a bookseller, I can't hang on to my favourite items forever and I managed a year with this one) it was hidden on my private shelf where I could look at it almost every day."
"This book is full of amazing drawings of life up close, some that can't be seen with the naked eye. It makes me feel the way I did when as a child I would sit for hours looking at an illustrated encyclopedia, camping handbook or a Sci-Fi comic book only this is better."
