A nice trip around our innards

This is a nice journey into the universe within, the photos are brilliant & it is a must read for non-biologists, because it is simple enough to comprehend, for biologists, however it is nothing more than a photo album

Incredible Book

Superb! Without a doubt, Incredible Voyage is the best photo-documentary I've ever seen. (And I've seen quite a few, science or otherwise.) It is full of truly stunning photographs -- from the tiniest virus to computer-rendered images to high-tech surgery. And it's not just a sittin'-pretty coffee book, either. The book contains lengthy writing that's not at all elementary.Incredible Voyage is a sure winner! I also suggest giving this book as a gift, even if you're not sure about the recipient's interests. You can't go wrong with this one!
