"The twentieth century brought us two new views of the world we live in and two new levels of understanding—the awesome views from space and the fascinating and astonishing images of the atomic world from the electron microscope. There are many popular presentations of the former but this volume is one of the first to give us a superbly illustrated glimpse of the micro-world that controls almost every aspect of our every day lives—both useful and enjoyable!"
—Lord Ronald Oxburgh,
former Chairman, House of Lords Select
Committee on Science and Technology
