Extraordinary natural wonders depicted in detailed illustrations and plentiful facts..Do you know how tall the tallest mountain on Earth is? Or how deep the deepest ocean goes? Do you know which creature was the largest to ever live? Or how old the oldest tree is?

Learn all this and more in this exquisite book of comparisons. Page Tsou's extraordinarily detailed illustrations have a lithograph aesthetic that is at once vintage and contemporary.

Another gorgeous Big Picture Press title that will fill readers with wonder at the world we live in.

Vizuálne nádherné, a obsahovo zaujímavé. Možno je to dakus oldskúlové, ale o to krajšie v dnešnej dobe disneyovských ilustrácií.

[Tereza Eliášová]

Hustá kniha hlavně vizuálně. Encyklopedie nemám moc v malíčku, tak nedovedu moc posoudit kvalitu a množství podaných informací, ale tahle knížka je hlavně koukací a naživo bude nádherná. A pro hledače divnověcí ideální, protože se tam dozvíte třeba o medúze Benjamina Buttona. Co myslíte, jak si asi taková medúza žije? :D

Looks great, but the information is dubious and style inconsistent...

[Eugenia Ghozali · Rating 2 out of 5]

The pictures are beautiful, with a very homogenous color palette/style. But I’m disappointed that objects are not to scale with one another when they’re meant to be put to comparison. Some of the information is not accurate (e.g. on longest-living animals, greenland shark is stated to be 150 years, which is not true as they start to reproduce at 150 years and can live longer than 400 years) or the drawing true to the actual thing (e.g. sunflower starfish should have way more limbs than 5).
So I can enjoy the book for its aesthetic, but a lot of fact checking needs to be done as a non-fiction.

Ik ben zo blij dat Bibliotheek #1 deze had, ik had hem al ergens anders gezien en wilde hem graag lezen. Het is een echt prachtig boek, mooie illustraties met heerlijk veel details, leuke en korte informatie over echt van alles en nog wat. Voor ik het wist was het boek uit. Echt een aanrader!
