Description
I offer you a mighty pomp, though made of tiny things, declared Virgil. Starting from these tiny things: a rock, a bee, a flower, Jean-Claude Ameisen takes us on a dizzying journey. A journey to meet bees weaving their magical exchange with flowers; ants with their ability to learn from each other; the strange geometry of snowflakes; the course of the planets which dictate the rhythm of our days and our years; the minuscule biological clocks which tick in the heart of every living being. Jean-Claude Ameisen describes the splendours of the universe for us, from the smallest and simplest of things to the greatest fields of knowledge, making us into informed spectators of our fascinating world.
