The Usborne Complete Book of the Microscope
- Kirsteen Rogers
Usborne, £9.99
This louse and its offspring hanging onto human hair can be found, along with a host of other oversized creatures, cells, crystals and micromachines, in The Usborne Complete Book of the Microscope by Kirsteen Rogers, edited by Paul Dowswell (Usborne, £9.99).
The book won this year's Rhône-Poulenc Junior Science Book Prize and, besides its many revealing pictures, it contains a history of the microscope and instructions on how children can access the world of the microscope for themselves.
