內容簡介
最高的 最小的
繼《最高的山 最深的海》後將比較的戰場延伸至人類、生物和其它自然領域。
你知道嗎，河狸曾經像熊一樣、樹懶像大象一樣大，因為氣候變遷，巨大的生物也開始變化；恐龍高度可比古夫金字塔！？蜂鳥的速度超越噴射機！？一粒沙內有很多原子！？本書儼然是高度長度大比拼—台灣最高的大樓是101，不過和其他國比起來，101前面還有4個呢！老鼠很小，比牠小的還有微生物，得用望遠鏡才看到；世界最高峰是聖母峰，但火星上的奧林帕斯山是聖母峰的3倍高呢！波隆納得獎畫家鄒駿昇插畫，維多利亞式仿古風格，細膩古典！
Have you ever wondered how a dinosaur would measure up against the Great Pyramids of Giza, if a hummingbird could outfly a jet plane, or how many atoms could fit inside a grain of sand? These are just some of the questions explored in this extraordinary book of comparisons.
Detailed images drawn to scale, informative text and unexpected visual analogies will help the reader to comprehend just how fast, how strong, how small and how big things really are. With stunning Victorian-style artwork by award-winning illustrator Page Tsou, this visual feast of a compendium will surprise and delight inquisitive minds in equal measure.
Peek inside and discover a beetle that is stronger than an elephant, meet the pterosaur that was bigger than a spitfire and explore the furthest reaches of the known universe.
