Book Reviews of Powers of Ten (Revised) (Scientific American Library Paperback)

Book Review: A heck of an amazing journey
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is pretty amazing, considering that it was written in '84 (which was based on a 10 minute video made in the sixties by the same authors.) The heart of the book is a couple dozen pictures encompassing our knowledge of the universe, from the superclusters of galaxies to the nucleus of an atom in a man's hand. This one impressed everyone, from some first graders I know, to my ancient grandparents..
