A vibrant infographics book made for lovers of science, geography and extraordinary discoveries to better understand the infinite richness of the world.
Astronomy, botany, the climate... From the wonder of fireflies to the mysteries of the Big Bang, from magnificent maps of animal migrations to the anatomy of snowflakes, Phenomena's superbly rendered infographics and concise texts will help adults and teenagers grasp a broad range of scientific, historical and cultural concepts.
This beautiful and original encyclopaedia covers 124 topics, illuminated by colourful and contemporary illustrations and bolstered by the latest scientific research. Phenomena does not tell a linear story, but jumps entertainingly from theme to theme, finding the same sense of wonder in a snail shell as in the formation of a star.
Its broad mix of subjects offers a poetic, visual approach to knowledge and the world around and within us. Like the borders of waves, clouds and light, the borders of these phenomena shift over the course of its pages, taking us on a journey across the Earth, into the sky and beyond.
