Bugs are usually so small that we hardly notice them; let alone think of them as living beings. But call upon the magnifying glass; and a shapeless jumble of legs; wings; and antennae suddenly start staring back at us.About 80 percent of the Earthrsquo;s animals are insects. While there are millions of different species; we rarely see many of them . . . until now. Thanks to the photography of John Hallmeacute;n; who took a camera and magnified these magnificent creatures one hundred times; we can see what wersquo;ve never been able to see before.Bugs Up Close takes readers on a journey into a world rarely seen; with incredible photographs of such insects as:Crane fliesYellow meadow antsBlack fungus beetlesTreehoppersAnd many more!The diversity of this insect civilization is striking and unknown to most. An insect we may never have thought twice about now looks like a creature from outer space. Fascinating and somewhat monstrous details such as compound eyes; antennae; and sharp mouth parts are visible; and with text by Lars-Aring;ke Janzon; Bugs Up Close is an amazing close look into the strange and beautiful world of insects.

Beautiful follow up to Dreaming of DiorBy style mavenI waited with great anticipation for the release of Charlotte Smiths second book about her godmothersvintage clothing collection. It is all and more than I expected. The essays are wonderful and the beautifulillustrations so charming that it something I will read often. Charlotte Smith has the gift of transportingus back to when the dresses were worn and cherished by their owners. In this world of utilitarian clothing;I love looking back to the time when clothing was exciting and transforming.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What a Dream!By CherezeeVery fun book chock full of colorful pictures of (now) vintage clothing. The pictures reminded me of someone taking items of clothing out of a trunk. No rhyme nor reason; just stored items being viewed. I thought that an index would be beneficial for reference. I am really enjoying this collection along with the stories.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Jill McCuneJust as described!
