anxiety. The theme of this book is centred around living in

This title is the IP Book Awards 2007 Gold Medal winner for
Outstanding Book of the Year - Most Original Concept. Never before
seen SEM images are unique to the book. It will appeal to
scientists, artists and photographers alike. The extraordinary
beauty and structure of pollen grains invisible to the naked eye.
This book is the result of the shared fascination of an artist and
a scientist with the perfect design of organisms too small to be
seen without a microscope. Pollen is ubiquitous; its tiny forms
have fascinated the scientifically curious since the seventeenth
century. Its tiny grains are enclosed beyond the accessible beauty
of the flower until the moment of release, when they are carried by
wind, water or animal vectors to achieve their purpose, which is
procreation. A clear explanation of the structure and form of
pollen, the remarkable events from pollination to fertilization,
and the many ways in which pollen impacts unseen on our lives is
interwoven with a dazzling array of original images created
especially for the book.

drawing closer to God-the Creator of heaven and earth. Inside

and breathtaking imagery of God's mountain handiwork sculpted and
brought to life by His hand.Lift your eyes to the mountains. Be

The characteristics of watercolour naturally complement botanical
art and this beautiful book shows you how to make the most of this
versatile medium. It starts by guiding you through the complexities
of painting flowers, with advice on materials and colour mixing,
using colour to achieve translucency and clarity, building
confidence with step-by-step examples and the importance of
observation and botancial accuracy. It then creates detailed and
beautiful compositions for the more experienced botanical artist.
This new book has ideas and tips on composition and how to include
animal life and is structured by season to include a range of
flowers and plants.
No one captures the graces and idiosyncrasies of cats quite like
the painters, printmakers, and haiku masters of Japan. From the Edo
to the Showa period, many artists turned their gaze toward an
unlikely subject: their small feline companions. Closely observed
portraits in words and ink elevate the everyday adventures of cats:
taking a nap on a Buddha statue's lap, daintily eating a rice ball,
courting the neighbor's cat. This curated collection of poems,
prints, and paintings will leave you inspired to cultivate the
serenity and wonder embodied by these creators - and by the cats
themselves. Presented as a sweet, jacketed paperback with
thoughtful design touches, this volume includes each poem in both
English and Japanese.
