Pollen

Illustrated with an extensive series of coloured micrographs that display the extraordinary structural variety of pollen grains, this volume opens with a clear explanation of their form. Co-authored by an artist and scientist, it goes on to examine pollination and fertilization in more depth, while also looking at the many ways in which these microscopic organisms impact our lives.
