Seeds, the minute building block of plant life, contain firmaments of otherworldly beauty. Through the marvel of scanning electron photomicroscopy, and in collaboration with two renowned experts, visual artist Kesseler unveils the delicate artistry and vibrant wizardry of these horticultural workhorses in an incandescent blend of exacting science and extraordinary art. Seeds' distinctive shapes and sizes enable them to withstand journeys of thousands of miles and hundreds of years before they complete their task of plant germination. Stuppy energetically relates the story of some 300 million years of evolutionary adaptations that have enabled plants to populate the earth's surface from the Antarctic to the Amazon, while simultaneously drawing attention to the alarming extinction rate of the world's remaining plant species. On a more hopeful note, Stuppy describes the Millennium Seed Bank Project's work collecting and conserving seeds that will ensure the planet's future biodiversity.
