Phenomenal Moments: Revealing the Hidden Science Around Us

By Felice Frankel

Visual learners rejoice A world-renowned photographer imagines the intersection of art, science, and the ordinary-extraordinary world around us in a stunning work of interactive nonfiction.

Enlisting readers to "be the scientist" through vivid fine-art photographs, internationally acclaimed science photographer Felice Frankel zooms in and out on beautiful and brilliant moments all around us to reveal the chemical, natural, or physical processes--from viscosity and venation to chlorophyll and capillary action--behind scientific phenomena. Organized into five thematic sections that explore light and shadow, form, surfaces, traces left behind, and transformation, this ingenious book is both a visual feast to savor in its own right and a guessing game that trains readers to look in a more layered, curious, and questioning way. Close-up spreads offer abstract clues to phenomena revealed at the page turn. Full-color images of similar scientific "moments" broaden context. Sophisticated and inspiring, this invitation to engage with and understand our surroundings--the worlds we can see and the worlds we can't--is a ticket to everyday wonder.
