The saying ?eyes can deceive? is again proven true in this up-close look at the smallest organisms that inhabit our world. High-magnification images will astonish readers while lively text and fact boxes inform, entertain, and sometimes disgust! Readers will learn how some small organisms actually help us while we should combat other micromonsters.
