Description
In the Smithsonian's Micro Life: Miracles of the Miniature World Revealed, readers explore the everyday miracle of the microscopic world. With spectacular macro photography and microscope images, this book reveals a hidden, living world full of intricate structures beyond the naked eye. The amazing imagery in Micro Life harnesses cutting-edge technology, such as focus-stacked macro photographs, as well as micrographs. Illustrations nearby explain the science—from the workings of an insect's eye to how a plant "breathes" through its leaves. This biology builds into a reference on how life works, and how all organisms, however small, solve the basic problems of movement, reproduction, energy, communication and defense.
