Description

The development of nearly 20 species of wild flowers has, for this book, been caught on film using macrophotography, which produces larger-than-life stop-action images. An eight-page section printed on translucent paper enables readers to follow the evolution of a bright red poppy.

Reviews

"The text and photographs of French biologists Nuridsany and Perennou will be of interest to nature enthusiasts and photographers alike."

Author description

French biologists Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou have worked for 20 years to acquaint the general public with the forms and inner workings of nature. Their previous book, Microcosmos, was an international best-seller and was made into a successful film.
