Explore the beauty of fleas, fungi, and other unlikely things with these historic illustrations of some of the earliest microscope images. This 8.5 x 11 inch coloring book contains every plate from Robert Hooke's 1665 publication Micrographia in high resolution. Each illustration is printed on one side of the page, with a brief quote from Micrographia and room for notes on the other side. Robert Hooke (1635-1703) is somewhat obscure today, due in part to the enmity of his famous, influential, and extremely vindictive colleague, Sir Isaac Newton. Yet Hooke was perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. His reputation in the history of biology largely rests on his book Micrographia, published in 1665. Using his compound microscope and illumination system, he observed organisms as diverse as insects, sponges, bryozoans, foraminifera, and bird feathers. Micrographia was an accurate and detailed record of his observations, illustrated with magnificent drawings. (Thanks to Ben Waggoner ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/hooke.html)

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I really enjoy working on the Historic Images series of adult coloring books from Hawaiian Heritage Press, with its focus on high-quality, unique images. The illustrations from Hooke's seventeenth-century classic, Micrographia, provide an educational and illuminating coloring experience. Viewing images at the microscopic level forces us to reconsider our notions of beauty.

    Very well reproduced images - probably the only book in print that has these! I wish they'd reprint all of Micrographia.

    It's a nice set of reproductions of Hooke's (beautiful) drawings from Micrographia, but since many of them are heavily penned drawings and are largely black, it isn't suitable for colouring. The illustration on the front of the book is just misleading.

    I'm sending it back for a refund and I'll look for something else.
