This edition is a smaller, more accessible version of their acclaimed large-format work exploring the microscopic beauty and biological complexity of seeds. Art and science come together in this volume which explores the extraordinary diversity of seeds, depicting them with exquisite close-up photography. The book is famous for its digitally enhanced scanning electron micrographs (SEMs), which reveal the intricate textures and structures of seeds at a level invisible to the naked eye.

It was produced in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, specifically highlighting the work of the Millennium Seed Bank.
