Fascinating - By: Claudine PROWSE, 28 Jul 2006 
I was completely amazed with this book. It really is fascinating getting a different perspective on everyday objects & I spent hours looking at all the photographs: the photo quality is excellent. The book makes an ideal present for anyone interestedin either science or photography & you can go through it page by page or dip into it whenever you have a moment.
Unbelievable - By: Mr S D Robertson, 17 May 2003 This book is astoundingin everyway. It takes you on a journey from the subatomic to the unimaginably immense. The picturesin this book are second to non, it is perfect for stiking up conversation when you have visitors. I was bought this book for christmas & could not have asked for a better present. Anybody with the slightest interestin science will love this book, even my mum loved it!
Stunning - By: John Hannen, 14 Apr 2003 I bought this as a present for a close friend who was a bit stressed.
more than did the job! the picturesin this are simply beautiful. a chance to look at the world/universein a way no human could ever do unaided.
Now that's a gift we all could do with.
Stunning - By: Ian Norris, 06 Mar 2003 The picture quality is fantastic, if you want something to just flick through, this is perfect. not much to actually read however, each picture only has a sentance or so each. fantastic value for money
Better than 'Earth from the Air in 365 Days' !! - By: Ben Leavett, 06 Oct 2002 On first opening this book I was amazed by the sheer variety of the photos it contains. 'Heaven & Earth' covers everything from the smallest to the largest objectsin the known universein gorgeously detailed, full-page pictures. From Carbon-dioxide crystals to supernovae the photos are presentedin one of four sections according to the size of the subject.
Each photo is accompanied by a brief but interesting description of the processes behind each photo written by a highly qualified science journailst.
I chose this book hoping it would be similar to Arthus-Bertrand's excellent 'Earth from the Air...'. In fact 'Heaven & Earth' isin my opinion a better buy, due to the variety of subjects the photos cover & the fascinating image captions. Unlike 'Earth from the Air...' there is almost no repetition of the subjects for the photos.
In short, this is a book that has photos to interest absolutely anyone & would be a perfect christmas / birthday present. Or you could use it to keep the relatives quietly absorbed for a while!
