Synopsis
The fragile beauty of the butterfly has never been more colorfully captured than in this book of photographs by Kjell B. Sandved. Sandved's camera has caught both rare and common species from different parts of the world, all in their natural surroundings. Especially striking are his enlargements of butterfly wings, "veritable fireworks of intense structural coloration," spreading across many pages like brilliant abstract paintings. Michael G. Emsley's text explores the extraordinary complexity of the butterfly's activities and perceptions.
