What would everything look like if you shrank to the size of an ant? Miniverse takes you on a mind-boggling journey into the world of the teeny tiny. Discover how zippers, paper, ballpoint pens, and velcro work by seeing them enlarged hundreds of times. Watch dust mites clambering through the jungle of fibers in carpeting and eyelash mites burrowing into the roots of human hairs. See how toxic venom squirts from the stingers of bees and nettles.

Miniverse reveals a hidden realm of unexpected beauty and complexity, from the intricate geometry of pollen grains to the mosaic of skin flakes that covers the human body. Shrink even more to explore ever tinier realms of existence—and find out how cells, germs, DNA, and atoms work as you get smaller.

Prepare to be wowed by the microcosmos that's all around you but that you've never seen before.
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
