This part-aesthetic, part-scientific consideration of eggs (mainly from birds but also those of insects, reptiles, fish, and amphibians) includes musings on the form and structure of eggs, the nests built to shelter them, and the role of eggs in human culture. The spare illustrations use a gorgeous mellow palette to represent the varieties of eggs and their producers.
