Phenomenal Moments: Revealing the Hidden Science Around Us

byFelice Frankel

Science photographer Felice Frankel turns close-up images of ordinary materials and events into visual puzzles that invite careful observation. Drops, crystals, bubbles, surfaces, shadows, and transformations become entry points into chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. Frankel explains how scale, lighting, color, and perspective reveal phenomena the hurried eye overlooks, while demonstrating that scientific images are constructed tools for thinking rather than neutral decoration. Designed to awaken curiosity, the book encourages readers to pause before learning an answer, make their own hypotheses, and discover the hidden structure and motion present in everyday surroundings.
