I learned lots of interesting facts, whilst reading the book. For example, an egg is classified as a cell, so technically, the largest cell in the world is actually an ostrich egg. For the lay person, some of the scientific wording and description in this book can be overwhelming; each chapter requires absolute concentration from the reader. The rewards for perseverance are many; the greatest being an increased understanding and appreciation for the living world around us. Many thanks to the publishers for my review copy of this beautifully-produced and visually-impressive book.
If you like this book, you will enjoy [[Cosmic Imagery: Key Images in the History of Science by John D Barrow]] in which each picture tells a story that illustrates the wonder and beauty of the scientific world. You might also appreciate [[The Knowledge by Lewis Dartnell]].
