The Scale of Things

Product Description

If the Sun is the size of a Grapefruit, the Earth is a grain of sand, then the distance between the two is a London bus. Scale is intriguing. Scale is everywhere. Scale is our experience of the world, from our perception of time to physical distance to weights and measures. The human scale is 1:1, the point of reference. Everything is designed around it. Wealth is an example of scale, so is a sculpture, a building, a planet or a molecule. Scale is a universal and timeless subject. The Scale of Things brings together facts and figures in a visual way, embracing popular science, space, economics, politics, geography, nature, technology and architecture in an accessible and entertaining way. Fun and informative, it will change the way you look at the world around you.

I was brought to make this purchase from iambored.com and they detailed in all photos the book being insanely large... And it is not.

Man oh man, I loooooved this book. It was just my style. I only wish there were a volume 2, or that it was longer. Here we have various facts given in scale, proportion, or ratio. They're almost all amazing facts as well.

It embodies the brilliance of relatability and wow in science--- great job guys!

It is a great book very interesting. HOWEVER it is tiny! The website I found it on the scale was much larger and it was directly linked. Very disappointed
