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 snowflakes most inspired photographers came to such
intimate knowledge of his craft and its fleeting focus.
Beautiful pictures illustrate Kenneth Libbrechts story of the
microphotography of snow crystals, from the pioneering work of
Wilson Bentley in the 1890s right up to Kens 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.
