Far beyond the range of the naked human eye exists a realm of growth and
symmetry that possesses almost haunting beauty. Microscopes and
telescopes can plow this realm, revealing stars too far or particles too
small for us to see. Magnified 115 times, kettle limescale blooms in
flowerlike clusters. A single pollen grain magnified 5,000 times
resembles a beehive fortress and, enlarged and reenlarged, a butterfly
wing takes on the aspect of a field of warrior's shields. The Hubble
Space Telescope captures the pillars of gas and dust of the Eagle
Nebula, 7,000 light-years away. In awesome color photographs, Heaven & Earth presents the universe in a grain of sand and on a scale almost beyond imagination.
this book seems to have teh same veiw on micro macro looking at the beauty and detail in the very big and very small
