"A worthy addition to any science collection, featuring stunning
full-color images with broad appeal for multiple levels of

“[A] superb new book. ‘Seeing Science’ is richly illustrated,
opening the reader’s eyes to how much easier it is to absorb
complex ideas – ranging from the mathematical to the microscopic –
when we can see them for ourselves.”
– Engineering & Technology
