Synopsis

Robert Hooke's Micrographia is a groundbreaking work in the history of science, renowned for its pioneering observations and exquisite illustrations of the microscopic world. First published in 1665, it stands as one of the most influential scientific texts of the 17th century, inspiring generations of natural philosophers, scientists, and curious minds.

In Micrographia, Hooke documents his meticulous observations using one of the earliest microscopes, revealing details of nature invisible to the naked eye. From the intricate structure of plants and insects to the delicate patterns of everyday materials, Hooke's work uncovers the astonishing complexity and beauty of the natural world. Most famously, he coined the term "cell" to describe the basic structural units of living organisms, laying the foundation for modern biology.

The book is celebrated not only for its scientific insights but also for its detailed illustrations. Hooke's copperplate engravings bring the microscopic world to life, combining artistic skill with scientific accuracy. These images allowed readers of his time—and readers today—to see a previously hidden universe, transforming the way humanity perceives the natural world.

Micrographia is more than a catalog of observations; it is a testament to curiosity, careful experimentation, and the power of technology to expand human understanding. Hooke's keen eye, methodical approach, and eloquent descriptions make the work both a scientific milestone and a literary achievement. His exploration of the microscopic world challenges readers to marvel at the complexity of life and the wonders of creation.

Essential for students of science, history, and literature, Micrographia remains a timeless work that celebrates the intersection of observation, invention, and imagination. It continues to inspire curiosity, demonstrating how careful study and innovative tools can reveal the hidden structures and patterns that govern the natural world.

    What kind of fossils will we leave, as relics into the far future? A blizzard of new objects has suddenly appeared on Earth: plastic bottles, ballpoint pens, concrete flyways, chicken bones, cans, teabags, phones, shirts. They're produced for our comfort and pleasure then quickly discarded. This new-made treasure chest underpins our lives. But it is also giving a completely new style of fossilization to our planet. Designed to resist corrosion and decay, many will remain, petrified, as future geology. 
     
     
     
    What will these technofossils look like? How long will they last and how will they change? Discarded describes how they transform and what will be left of them. These new fossils have meaning for our lives today. For we live on a world increasingly buried under our growing waste. As our discarded artefacts begin to change into fossils, they may be swallowed by birds, entangle fish, alter microbial communities and release toxins. Even buried in rock, technofossils may break down into new-formed oil and gas, change the composition of groundwater, and attract new mineral growths. 
     
     
     
    It is a new planetary phenomenon, now unfolding around us. Scientists are only just beginning to grasp its scale, and get to grips with how it functions. This book describes the kind of science that is emerging to show the far-future human footprint on Earth.
