This introductory volume encourages readers to be "mindful of the small." Arnosky highlights specimens in labeled groupings that he presents--textually and visually--in accurate, captivating, and even tender detail. Conversational prose is illustrated with the author's own acrylic and pencil artwork, some "supersized," with magnification scale noted. The information-rich layouts are attractively designed; several fold-outs enable expansive viewing. Reading list.
