At first glance, Brandon Broll's Microcosmos is a coffee table
book; open it and lush photographs spring out at you... Enhancing
each photo is a short informative paragraph packed with biological
terms. You could almost put together a Coles Notes version of a Bio
101 course from the collected content.... Use this book to draw
heretofore resistant high school or university students into
microscience, or gift it to that hard-to-buy-for scientist.--

Here are things you may think you have seen, such as rocks or
plants, as well as parts of the human body, magnified to show you
things you couldn't have seen. Folic acid and mescaline are
amazing--even far out-in their colours and details.--Bill Robertson
