What's the most amazing and unbelievable thing about this book is how few reviews it has here on Amazon !!....talk about being under the radar!!.
For anyone remotely interested in the natural world this is a must buy....and on every level....get the hardback....had mine since 2006.
The quality of the photography and text really is on a whole new level.

Seeds: Time Capsules of Life
Reviewed in the United States on 24 January 2008Verified Purchase
I saw this book in the library and after checking it out once, twice and then three times, I knew I had to own it.
I can't really comment on the text, I don't know enough about the subject. I only know that I read the book and was facinated by the more scientific information. But I can say that I never tire of looking at the pictures. They are simply beautiful. When I want inspiration for building a new clay form, when I am looking for a color theme for painting or crocheting or glazing, I find it in the photographs in Seeds. The quality of the photography is excellent and the selection of seeds chosen for the book is varied enough that each picture illustrates something new.
This is not a book that once read, has nothing more to offer. I would recommend Seeds:Time Capsules of Life even to those who only wanted to look at the photographs and be inspired by the design and color revealed inside.

Inspiration from Nature
Reviewed in the United States on 20 October 2014Verified Purchase
As an artist this book is visually stimulating and provides inspiration for forms, textures and color combinations. This should be in every elementary school, on up to high school, library to stimulate the imaginations of any budding artists.

Mind blowing beauty!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2007Verified Purchase
I bought this book after hearing the author interviewed on Radio 4, not only did it live up to my expectations, it far exceeded them. The photographs are utterly spectacular, and inspiring. I would recommend it to anyone interested in art and design - the colours, structures and shapes revealed in these tiny, often miniscule seeds are a revelation.
