On the Surface of Things:

Images of the Extraordinary in Science

by Felice Frankel, George M. Whitesides (Contributor)

Scientific American says: "poetic volume ... remarkable"
Wired says: "...one of the year's more intriguing concepts for an art book"
How many electrons can dance on the head of a pin? What do DNA strands look like when chased by an electrical charge? A rare collaboration between artist and scientist explores the hidden visual splendor of scientific phenomena. MIT photographer Felice Frankel finds startling beauty in the undulations of liquid crystal film and other scientific wonders. George Whitesides' text explains each photograph. Color photos throughout. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The publisher, Science News says:
"This combined effort is a visual extravaganza that melds stunning macroscopic and stereomicroscopic photography of surfaces such as ferrofluid, ice crystals, and marble columns colored with lichen with intriguing text describing the scientific principles illustrated."

A superb gift!
