A highly original collection of high magnification photographs that
unlock 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.
