Micro: The Wild Wonders of Microscopic Life
Highly illustrated thematic spreads focus on habitats and locations, including ponds, forests, deserts, and even outer space, to reveal the microscopic creatures, plants, and objects hidden within them.
Meet mind-boggling organisms, like adorable “water bears” who can survive in almost any conditions, even outer space; jewellike diatoms that live in our oceans and help fight climate change; and alien-looking bacteria that keep our guts healthy. See the familiar become extraordinary, as we zoom in on soap bubbles, grains of sand, and the wing of a butterfly to reveal the hidden beauty of everyday life.
The book features an introduction to microscope technology, with information about their history, how they work, and what they allow us to see. The book also includes a practical guide on how to use one, so that children can explore microscopic worlds for themselves, at home, or in school.
