The small print in the book of nature

Metamorphosis of a Louse, Johannes Swammerdam. From: Histoire Générale des Insectes, Utrecht 1682

From the 16th century onwards, people became increasingly convinced that the study of nature was a route to understanding God. And it was precisely in the most tiny of his creations that his magnificence became visible.
