Recommended.--Barbara McMillan, Faculty of Education, University of Manitoba "Canadian Materials, Vol 114(7), University of Manitoba" (11/23/2007 12:00:00 AM)

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.-- "Green Teacher" (7/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)

Gorgeous! The photos are really amazing, everything from bones to chocolate ice cream to mushroom spores. It's great eye candy for any photography lover.-- "superfastreader.com" (11/10/2010 12:00:00 AM)

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 "Halifax Star Phoenix" (12/18/2010 12:00:00 AM)

Microcosmos takes readers into a secret world of extreme close-ups...The book charters a voyage through a miniature world showing the unlikeliest parts of our lives in minuscule detail.--Graham Smith "The Daily Mail Online" (10/9/2010 12:00:00 AM)

Weird and wonderful.-- "London Daily Mail" (10/11/2010 12:00:00 AM)
