Reviews
Nuridsany and Perennou, the biologists-filmmakers-directors of last year's celebrated documentary feature Microcosmos, have written a companion book that in some ways is more compelling than their film. The authors both hold master's degrees in biology and condense their expertise into a plain-language description of insect fundamentals: anatomy, life cycle, behavior, and the unique relationship between insects and plants. The text surrounds 90 close-up color photos of insects, including many images from their film. The epilogue, "Creation of a Film," describes cameras and microphones the filmmakers invented to better film their tiny subjects, including a 660-pound robotic camera for studio work and the Flying Cam--a 35mm camera mounted to a remote-controlled helicopter for filming dragonflies in flight. A must read for nature buffs and photographers alike. Ted Leventhal
