The Observologist

Meer over het boek

The Observologist is a highly illustrated, playful field guide for budding natural scientists and curious observers of the world right under our noses. An observologist is someone who makes scientific expeditions, albeit very small ones, every day. They notice interesting details in the world around them. They are expert at finding tiny creatures, plants, and fungi. An observologist knows that there are extraordinary things to be found in even the most ordinary places. The Observologist puts more than 100 small creatures and features of the natural world under the microscope, but this is no everyday catalog. It is an antidote to boredom, an invitation out of the digital world to observe our environment with care and curiosity wherever we are. Facts combine with comics, detailed illustrations, science, and funny stories in this unique, warm, and fascinating account of the small things all around us. Through Clarkson's unique sensibility, you'll find that once you start thinking small, there's no limit to what you can notice--right under your nose.
