I like how the silhouette on the cover is of the lung alveoli. That is a perfect representation of the kind of book this is… an episodic exploration of scientific principles through the eyes of a child, or a child at heart (as the author most certainly is), for the purposes of marveling at how big and amazing and creative God is. It’s broken down by spatial categories (the very large, the very small, the very close and intimate) but it’s otherwise all over the place. The author does a good job of catching the reader up in his enthusiasm for cool factoids much better than a dry textbook presentation might have done, though to be honest, he was a bit too over-the-top for my taste. Still, I think it was quite genuine, and he made his points well.
