Capturing Snowflakes: Winter's Frozen Artistry by Kenneth Libbrecht mobi epub azw3 pdf 英文电子书下载

As much a work of art as a testament to science, this revised, hardcover edition of the best-selling The Art of the Snowflake (now Capturing Snowflakes) includes a laser-cut silver snowflake ornament in its cover and showcases 430+ images of snowflakes captured by the photo-microscope of the world's leading expert on the subject, Kenneth Libbrecht, a professor of physics at Caltech who also served as a science consultant for Disney's Frozen movies.

The snow may seem unvaried to the naked eye, but the microscope reveals an amazing menagerie of beautiful crystalline forms. Building on the pioneering work of Wilson Bentley (1865-1931), Libbrecht has developed techniques for capturing images of snow crystals in unprecedented detail.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/5803.html
