A highly original collection of high magnification photographs that \nunlock the hidden beauty of seeds and fruit, from the author of Microsculpture
The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is
a photographic study that celebrates the wonders of nature and science
in mind-blowing magnification. Levon Biss' striking photography captures
the breathtaking and beautiful details of the world of carpology, the
study of seeds and fruits. Each picture reveals minute features and
textures that are normally invisible to the naked eye, providing the
audience with an insight into strange and often bizarre adaptations that
have evolved over thousands of years. After spending months searching
through the carpological collection at the Royal Botanic Garden
Edinburgh, Biss selected over a hundred striking samples to be featured
in this book. Captioned with scientific text that provides the backstory
for each specimen, The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is guaranteed to amaze, entertain, and educate.
