This book conforms exactly to its title. It’s a large-format hardback showing highly magnified photographs of the microscopic life that thrives everywhere. It shows all these living beings in their great beauty and, dare I say, even cuteness. James Weiss is the videographer behind the very popular YouTube and Instagram science channels Jam’s Gems and Journey to the Microcosmos. He describes everything he shows us, from Desmid to Hydra and from Water Bear to Dileptus. His autobiographical accounts of how and when he first glimpsed different creatures is touching and revelatory. He tells stories of other scientists. Above all, he gives accounts (with pictures) of the daily lives of all these little fragments of creation and challenges us to claim that our own lives are any more compelling than theirs.
