商品簡介
In this lusciously-illustrated volume published in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Stuppy (seed morphologist, Millennium Seed Bank Project, RBGK) and Kesseler (Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, UK) fruitfully combine full-page and other photographs of such exotic fruits as Buddha's hand, cashew apple, and Japanese wineberry with scientific names and explanations of the complexities of their classification, evolution, growth and reproductive habits. Even more familiar fruits look alien in the digital scanning electron microscopic images. The 12x11" volume includes information on the seed bank project and how the microscopic images were created, a glossary for nonspecialists, and index of the featured plants.
