In the tradition of illustrated science bestsellers, like Thing Explainer and
harkening back to the classic film The Powers of Ten, this unique,
fully-illustrated, four-color book explores and visualizes the concept of scale
in our universe.
In Magnitude, Kimberly Arcand and Megan Watzke take us on an expansive journey
to the limits of size, mass, distance, time, temperature in our universe, from
the tiniest particle within the structure of an atom to the most massive galaxy
in the universe; from the speed at which grass grows (about 2 to 6 inches a
month) to the speed of light. Fully-illustrated with four-color drawings and
infographics throughout
