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.
