Book Reviews of Powers of Ten: A Flipbook
Book Review: From the Macrocosm to the Microcosm---a cosmic adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
From a proton to the deeper reaches of space (at 10 million light years), this little gem has been an inspiration to me since I purchased it a few years ago. It is based on the film of the same name. It simply presents photos of each level with what you are looking at---one picture per page. Hence, the "flipbook" feature.
Going by the mathematical powers of ten (ie 10 to the +23 meters (outer space past our galaxy) to the proton at 10 to the -15 power, the structure of our universe and ourselves is endlessly fascinating to me. It actually solidifies my validation of the truth "as above, so below".
If one ever doubts that there is a Higher Power, just check this amazing visual feast of a book out!
A mind-expanding experience!
Summary of Powers of Ten: A Flipbook
Praise for the Scientific American Library Paperback Powers of Ten 'Dazzling' Publishers Weekly 'A brilliant pictorial and textual embodiment of a wonderful idea' Stephen Jay Gould Based on the best-selling classic Powers of Ten , this magnificent journey begins one billion light years away, with every two pages representing a view ten times larger than the view two pages earlier. As readers flip through the pages, they will descend the dimensions of the the universe, through our solar system down to a park on earth, then into the human body, its cells, DNA and finally a single proton. A fun and compact visual odyssey, The Powers of Ten flipbook shows us not only the relative size of things in the known universe, but also our place in it.Science Books
