Book Reviews of Life

Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a beautiful photographic book. The clarity of the images taken inside the womb are astounding. The book moves through the stages of development of the foetus and cover other areas such as images of cancer cells and viruses.
The only problem i have with the book is that it is quite brief and there is no in-depth text to accompany the images.
It would be great to see a more extensive version of this book with more images to cover the same time span.
Nevertheless this is a mesmerising book. I find myself staring at the pictures for ages because they are such a rare sight.
