Synopsis: Over 100,000 copies of this spectacular journey have already been sold. In forty-two consecutive scenes, each at a different power of ten level of magnification, readers are taken from the dimension of one billion light years to the realm of the atom. The text and other illustrations depict what we can perceive at each progressively smaller level of magnitude. A brilliant pictorial and textual embodiment of a wonderful idea.
