From a picture of a clutch of milk snake eggs to one showing the intricacy
of the spiral growth in a sunflower, Scott Camazine has produced a brilliant
series of photographs, accompanied by essays and poetry, in Velvet Mites
and Silken Webs (Wiley, pp 177, $24.95). Winner of the Kodak Wildlife
Photographer of the Year in 1988, a physician and a research biologist,
Camazine offers a pleasant way to glimpse some of the more unusual aspects
of nature.
