Synopsis
There are hidden worlds in nature--places you can visit only with a microscope. For more than twenty-five years, Dennis Kunkel has been exploring these worlds. Through the lenses of powerful microscopes, he has examined objects most people have never even thought about: a mosquito's foot, a crystal of sugar, a grain of pollen, the delicate hairs on a blade of grass. Hidden Worlds takes you behind the scenes of Dennis's work and explains how he captures his remarkable images of microscopic life and objects. You'll learn how Dennis became interested in microscopes as a boy, how he prepares specimens for study, and how different kinds of microscopes work. You'll also have the chance to follow Dennis as he collects in the field--from the ash-covered slopes of Mount St. Helens to the lava tubes, rainforests, and beaches of his home state of Hawaii., There are hidden worlds in nature--places you can visit only with a microscope. Dennis Kunkel has been exploring these worlds for more than twenty-five years, and now you can go along with him as he uses his powerful microscopes to reveal the hidden beauty of everyday objects: a crystal of sugar, a grain of pollen, a blade of grass. For Dennis, science has always been an adventure, the chance to make discoveries and explore new frontiers. Follow Dennis and author Stephen Kramer through Hidden Worlds and you'll never see your world the same way again

Book did not match listing photo (pic2) The listings only photograph was of an autograph page (pic 1) which means this seller did not photograph the actual item being sold. The seller had to be contacted twice to get a full refund. The shipping cost was very expensive and item was poorly packaged. I have been buying items from ebay for many years and this is the first time I have delt with a seller whose listing was so blatantly dishonest. Buyers beware!

$10 shipping and took over 2 weeks, refused to give tracking number, the cover is bent but they did not disclose that, poorly packaged and arrived open, overall bad experience and customer service- they just send copy and paste messages. I would avoid this seller.

  • Good introductory book for pre-teen/young teen interested in science.

    I bought this book for my grand daughter who has shown an interest in science. I will give it to her at Christmas with a microscope and some prepared slides. The book has excellent pictures of familiar and not so familiar plants and animals. It focuses on the skills and interests of scientists and what it takes to be a scientist. I think it will be a great companion book to the microscope.
