Description



Book Synopsis



Visual learners rejoice! A world-renowned photographer imagines the intersection of art, science, and the ordinary-extraordinary world around us in a stunning work of interactive nonfiction.

Enlisting readers to "be the scientist" through vivid fine-art photographs, internationally acclaimed science photographer Felice Frankel zooms in and out on beautiful and brilliant moments all around us to reveal the chemical, natural, or physical processes--from viscosity and venation to chlorophyll and capillary action--behind scientific phenomena. Organized into five thematic sections that explore light and shadow, form, surfaces, traces left behind, and transformation, this ingenious book is both a visual feast to savor in its own right and a guessing game that trains readers to look in a more layered, curious, and questioning way. Close-up spreads offer abstract clues to phenomena revealed at the page turn. Full-color images of similar scientific "moments" broaden context. Sophisticated and inspiring, this invitation to engage with and understand our surroundings--the worlds we can see and the worlds we can't--is a ticket to everyday wonder.



Review Quotes




An interactive children's debut. . . .The result is a thought-provoking primer on the importance of engaging in careful observation to understand the world.
--Publishers Weekly

This visually stimulating book dives deep into beautiful, rarely seen patterns of the natural and human-made worlds and the science behind them. Exquisitely highlights the often-ignored beauty surrounding us, igniting scientific curiosity.
--Kirkus Reviews
