Synopsis
El mundo visto bajo el microscopio. ¿Sabías que el 90 % de los seres vivos del planeta no pueden ser vistos a simple vista? No los puedes ver, pero están por todas partes: en el agua, en la tierra, en el aire, los alimentos, y en toda superficie, incluido tu cuerpo y el de los animales y plantas. Observa el mundo que nos rodea a escala microscópica y prepárate para descubrir los misterios y curiosidades de un mundo vivo desapercibido al ojo humano : desde los ácaros que viven en las alfombras y los microorganismos que conforman el plancton hasta la estructura de un grano de polen, o las estomas que permiten respirar a las plantas. - Con una impresionante galería de fotografías macro, microimágenes y micrografías que muestra diversas formas de vida, células y tejidos microscópicos con un detalle asombroso. - Magníficas ilustraciones que brindan una visión más profunda de la estructura, función y comportamientos de los microorganismos. - Increíble sección de referencia sobre animales, plantas, algas, hongos, insectos, artrópodos, bacterias, hongos, virus y parásitos. - Cada capítulo se centra en un proceso biológico: reproducción, nutrición y metabolismo, percepción del entorno, mecanismos de defensa, etc. Un libro perfecto para los amantes de la fotografía, la naturaleza y la biología que desvela un universo diminuto con una diversidad de formas, texturas, colores y estructuras fascinantes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explore the miracles of the microscopic world. Find out all about the unique and beautiful kingdoms of life at a microscopic scale and how every organism meets the challenges of survival no matter its size. The perfect book for people who enjoy photography, nature and biology. Inside the pages of this exciting educational nature book, you'll find: - Microscopic life-forms (often neglected), and their life-forms in extreme close-ups, revealing details such as nerve cells and hair follicles. - Artworks support the beautiful images, providing a deeper insight into structure and function and building a picture of how living organisms work at a microscopic level. - Comprehensive coverage of the natural world, including all the main groups of living things. - Explores overlooked groups that have a huge role in the natural world: insects, which make up 80% of the world's animal species, and bacteria -- of which there are more in a human mouth than there are people in the world. - The book is organized according to the main functions of life: movement, reproduction, energy and feeding, sensing the surroundings, defense, etc. - Optional 80-page section containing a catalog of the major kingdoms of life. The beauty of nature under a microscope ., Explore the everyday miracle of the microscopic world With spectacular macro photography and microscope images, this book reveals a hidden, living world full of intricate structures beyond the naked eye. Included are the tiniest insects and spiders; but looking deeper, you will discover truly microscopic creatures--even bacteria and viruses. Earth is home to more microbes, and more different types of microbes, than any other living organism. Bacteria on Earth outweigh humans by 1,100 to 1; and without them, all world ecosystems would collapse. This book reveals this vital, unseen realm, but it includes large life-forms too, in extreme close-up, so that you can wonder at the beauty of a pollen grain, a butterfly egg, the spore of a fungus, and the nerve cell of a human. The spectacular imagery in Micro Life exploits cutting-edge technology, such as focus-stacked macro photographs, as well as micrographs (microscope images) including scanning electron micrographs. Illustrations nearby explain the science--from the workings of an insect's eye to how a plant "breathes" through its leaves. The biology builds into a reference on how life works--and how all organisms, however small, solve the basic problems of movement, reproduction, energy, communication, and defense. Micro Life is a beautiful and surprising look at the natural world.
