nature and wildlife

Every year when the holiday shopping season rolls around, there is a glut of beautifully illustrated coffee table books on the market. But I have yet to see one this season that compares to the mind-boggling beauty of "Heaven & Earth". The photos in this magnificent collection run the gamut from the microscopic to the macrocosmic, presented in order of size. Like explorers of uncharted seas, we are able to discover the incredible detail hidden in the extremely small and to map the grand pattern in the extremely vast. We are also able to observe, as exemplified by the illustration on the cover, that there is often an eerie pattern of similarity revealed when viewing side-by-side things of vastly different scale. Not only is this book a feast for the eyes, but fuel for the intellect as well.
