Named a winner in the AIGA 50 Books/50 Covers of 2002 competition presented by the American Institute of Graphic Designers (AIGA), Named Best of Show at Bookbuilders of Boston's 2003 New England Book Show-also honored for Best Cover and named Best of College Books. and Finalist for the 2002 Kraszna-Krausz Book Award in the Craft, Technology & Scientific Books categoryScience and engineering research must be communicated within the research community and to the general public, and a crucial element of that communication is visual. In Envisioning Science, science photographer Felice Frankel provides a guide to creating dynamic and compelling photographs for journal submissions and scientific presentations to funding agencies, investors, and the general public. The book is organized from the large to small-from photographing laboratory equipment to capturing new material and biological structures at the microscopic level. Full-color illustrations including many side-by-side comparisons provide an extensive gallery of fine science photography. The book begins with a brief historical overview in a foreword by science educator Phylis Morrison. Frankel discusses technical issues and, just as important, her personal approach to creating images that are both scientifically informational and accessible. This is a handbook that should become a standard tool in all research laboratories.
