5.0 out of 5 stars Powers of Ten -- a Flipbook, January 7, 2002
By 
wayne cerullo (Walnut Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Powers of Ten: About the Relative Size of Things in the Universe (Hardcover)
Charles and Ray Eames give us a photographic tour of the universe we can hold in our hands. Starting with a picture of the dark emptiness of at the edge of the universe, each page brings us closer to our galaxy, solar system, planet, and down to the one power of ten on which we humans live. But then we continue to dive deeper -- skin deep -- shrinking smaller and smaller through the cells, molecules, and finally sub-atomic space of which we are composed... finding the empty space within the atom to be eerily reminiscent of outer space itself. It's an exciting, thought-provoking five-minute journey you'll want to take again and again.

1.0 out of 5 stars it's hard to read a book you did not receive almost 2 months after you ordered it., May 31, 2009
This review is from: Powers of Ten: About the Relative Size of Things in the Universe (Hardcover)
I paid for but did not yet receive this book, even after two complaints, so here's my third complaint.

I'm sure it's a good book though, because I have read it before and it transformed my perception.
