The perfect geometry and exquisite beauty of nature is
nowhere so clear to us as in the snowflake. But how have we
been able to appreciate this infinitesimal wonder in all its
crystalline glory? This book, as much a work of art as a testament to science,
reveals how one of the snowflake’s most inspired
photographers came to such intimate knowledge of his craft
and its fleeting focus. Beautiful pictures illustrate Kenneth Libbrecht’s story of
the microphotography of snow crystals, from the pioneering
work of Wilson Bentley in the 1890s right up to Ken’s own
innovations in our age of digital images. A breathtaking
look at the works of art that melt in an instant, this is a
book to page through and savor, season after season.
