(4) 4-6 Life in Strange Places series. This series of books explores microscopic organisms, some of which live in familiar environments, others in more unusual ones (e.g., the human body, oceans, deserts, Antarctica, caves). Short and flashy text is accompanied by captioned photos outlined in circles, to resemble the view through a microscope. These overviews, while hectic, are generally informative. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Life in Strange Places titles: Dark Secrets, Diminutive Drifters, Extraterrestrial Life, Extremophiles, Itty Gritty Critters, The Zoo on You.]
