A remarkable collaboration of art and science celebrating the diversity of seeds.

An orchid seed may be minuscule, so small and light that one gram contains more than 7.5 million seeds. In contrast, a single-seeded Seychelles seed is a nut weighing up to 20 pounds. All seeds have the same purpose -- to travel through time and space until they reach the right place at the right moment to create a new plant.

This large-format book melds art and science in an authoritative examination of the design and function of seeds. Special light and scanning electron microscopy are used to obtain astonishing images of diverse seeds at various states of maturity. Pods, pouches, keys, nuts and other vehicles of dispersal are explained and illustrated.

These time capsules of life for plants familiar and strange are presented in minute, beautiful detail. Microphotographs of the tiniest seeds and extraordinarily detailed cutaway images of larger seeds are combined with text that explains the formation and maturation of seeds and describes how they find their way to becoming a copy of the parent plant. Literary references to plant reproduction are featured as well, along with early botanical illustrations.

Authoritative and richly illustrated, Seeds offers a fascinating and intimate look at the remarkable reproductive process of plants.

Amazing Book -- But Not in Great Condition

Revisado en Estados Unidos 🇺🇸 el 20 de octubre de 2016

Compra verificada

This book is beautiful, and I'm so glad I was able to find it on Amazon. In addition to huge colorized pictures, there's a wealth of information about plant life cycles, plant evolution, etc. This would have been a five star review except for the condition the book arrived in--I bought a used copy labeled to be in "very good" condition, but it arrived with all of the corners bent, a large bit of the binding separated from the pages, and a price tag for $5.00 in the corner :) other than that, I love this book, and I'm so glad I could add it to my library.

Seeds: Time Capsules of Life

Revisado en Estados Unidos 🇺🇸 el 24 de enero de 2008

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.

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.
