Life at Small Scale is an astonishing reminder of the wonders of a world that's too small to see with the naked eye. Packed with stunning color photographs and illustrations, the book describes the composition and behavior of a variety of microbes. You'll learn how microbes move, feed, reproduce, and even "learn" in a primitive fashion. In clear and compelling prose, David Dusenbery explains the peculiar constraints of a microbe's existence, such as the overwhelming effects of surface tension and even molecular buffeting.

New York Times, August 8, 1997
David Dusenberry gives a fascinating tour of the wonders found in the world or micro-organisms.
