Great Book: The Smaller Majority

I posted about this wonderful book way back when, but just dusted it off from my bookshelf and wanted to mention in again. The fact is, most of us who live in cities easily forget how much of the world is occupied by millions of little creatures who fill the forests, oceans, deserts, and so on across the globe. One scientist/photographer knows ths well, and he has published a lovely book of his photos about this little world of critters.

Called The Smaller Majority the book really lays out in the most vivid color how amazing the world beneath our noses really is. The book is the work of Piotr Naskrecki, the Director of the Invertebrate Diversity Initiative of Conservation International and Research Associate with the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. His 268 page coffee table-style book is filled with some of the most amazing images you will ever see. Really nice.
