Industry Reviews "Each object is rendered by Macaulay's painter's brush in precise but never pedantic detail with a wash of muted watercolors. The text is lucidly set down by science writer Neil Ardley without losing the general reader in too much jargon." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Robert Hotz (12/06/1998)
