Our very cells are intricate molecular machines, and the story of our origins stretches back through an unimaginable amount of time. How can we see the richness of what lies beyond our sensory perception? Scientists have developed visualization tools that can make the invisible visible. This bountifully illustrated book demonstrates the power of images to represent the unseeable, offering stunning visualizations of science that range from the microscopic to the incredibly vast. With more than 200 color images and an engaging text by leading science writer Jack Challoner, Seeing Science explains and illustrates the techniques by which scientists create visualizations of their discoveries. We see the first detection of a black hole as represented by an image from an Xray telescope, get a direct view of DNA through an electron microscope, and much more. Visualizations are also used to make sense of an avalanche of data--concisely presenting information from the 20,000 or so human genes, for example. Scientists represent complex theories in computer models, which take on a curious beauty of their own. And scientists and artists collaborate to create art from science visualizations, with intriguing results"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 501.4 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501.4 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501.4 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501.4 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 501.4 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501.4 Ch Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501.4 Ch Checked out 05/21/2024 Add Copy to MyList
