larger life-forms in extreme close-ups, revealing details such as
nerve cells and hair follicles - Artworks support the beautiful
images, providing a deeper insight into structure and function and
building a picture of how living organisms work at a microscopic
level - Comprehensive coverage of the natural world, including all
the main groups of living things - Explores overlooked groups that

fungus, and a human's nerve cell in extreme close up. The amazing
imagery in Micro Life contains focus-stacked macro photographs and
micrographs (microscope images), including scanning electron
micrographs. Illustrations in this book explain the science - from
the workings of an insect's eye to how a plant "breathes" through
its leaves. Micro Life is an unexpectedly breathtaking look at the
natural world. Find out how life works and how organisms solve the
fundamental problems of movement, reproduction, energy,
communication, and defence. Suitable for all the family, this
stunning book makes a wonderful gift for those interested in
photography, nature or biology.
