A close look at these tiny miracles of nature through a scanning electron microscope opens up a view into a fascinating and breathtakingly beautiful microcosm few people, even scientists, have ever seen before. The range of sizes, shapes, and patterns plants have evolved over 360 million years to perfect their one and only chance in life to travel is beyond our wildest imagination. In this astonishing book, artist Rob Kesseler and botanist Wolfgang Stuppy, previously of Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank, present a unique and highly unusual natural history of seeds. The story of how seeds evolved to ensure the survival of their species and how they adapted to their natural environments including the animals they share them with is stunningly illustrated, combining close-up photography with digitally enhanced scanning electron micrographs. This book not only captivates and enlightens those interested in the natural world, but also artists, designers, architects and everyone else drawing inspiration from the wonderful and endlessly fascinating world we live in.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 290mmItem Length: 265mmItem Width: 30mmItem Weight: 1400gAuthor: Wolfgang Stuppy, Rob KesselerGenre: Home Garden & PetsBook Series: Seeds / Pollen / FruitRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
