Synopsis

A strange and beautiful world surrounds us,

hidden from sight ...

An unbelievable abundance of life flourishes on every surface of our planet.

In every drop of dew, on every leaf, and even inside each one of us, invisible

yet ingenious life thrives. James Weiss, microbe enthusiast and videographer,

has spent thousands of hours peeking into this world, and has been astounded

by the beauty he finds there.

With his captivating photographs and illustrations, James presents this

beginner's guide to microscopic life, from the most simple, single-celled

organisms to complex micro-animals. Navigate the births, feasts, triumphs,

tragedies and deaths of a cast of tiny characters, including the adorable

water bear, the immortal Hydra and the dancing Desmid. Learn how

these lifeforms work and what lessons they can teach us about our own

existence, and discover how seeing the wonder of nature from a new

perspective can change your life.
