 | | "No two snowflakes are alike" - until now...
|
| |
|
|   As seen recently at NewYorkTimes.com and in the new book THE SNOWFLAKE: WINTER'S FROZEN ARTISTRY, snowflake expert Kenneth Libbrecht has developed a way to make "identical twin" snowflakes in his lab. Snowflakes take a torturous path on their way to the ground and that twisting and turning shapes the tiny snow crystals, giving them their individuality. In a controlled environment such as a laboratory, it's a different story. By growing snow crystals under identical conditions, and controlling the temperature and humidity, Caltech physicist Libbrecht can manipulate the designs of the individual snow crystals. In addition to the process of making designer snowflakes, the book explores both the science and artistry that's a part of every snowflake that falls from the sky. Beautiful micro-photography showcases the individual beauty and intricacies that every snowflake has.

 | | | | | Sick of the snow? Discover THE SECRETS OF SAND |
 From the beach to the moon--explore the incredible hidden world of sand, seen through a microscope.
The Secrets of Sand is a virtual tour of sands from across North America. It shows their origins, the environmental forces that have acted upon them, and their journey from bedrock or invertebrate shell to the fine particles that, in countless billions, form our familiar beaches and dunes. It then moves on to an exploration of lunar sand, which has been formed under such alien conditions that it has no terrestrial counterpart. The Secrets of Sand is an amazing voyage of discovery in the ancient past--and the dynamic present--of the earth and our nearest neighbor.
