Snowflakes in Photographs (Dover Pictorial Archive) Kindle Edition

Nice illustrations

I am an elementary teacher. Every winter I read Snowflake Bentley to my fifth grade students. Snowflake Bentley is the biography of Wilson Bentley's amazing journey to photograph snowflakes in the early 1900s. It is a story of trial and error and exceptional determination. I am so happy to finally have a book of his photographs to go along with the biography. Snowflakes in Photographs is a collection of black and white photos created by Wilson Bentley. There are no words except a one page introduction at the front of the book. If you are looking for a book of beautiful snowflake photographs, then a full color book by Kenneth Libbrecht would probably be a better choice. However, for historical value, or if you are reading about Wilson Bentley, then this book is a great choice.

This was purchased as a Christmas gift requested by our granddaughter. She loves it!

I am dumbfounded by the intricate detail of snowflakes--the microscope reveals their beautiful designs that instantly form but appear as if they were carefully crafted by an artist--each one so different. This book gives hundreds of photos that I study for ideas of designs for my own crafts and art.

Works but would prefer more as in Snow Crystal's. Both good books just which you prefer. Lots or less pictures of snowflakes. But either are good!

This book is awesome! It holds student attention and is a perfect book for my K-6 instructional needs in Science and Art, as well as for supporting Social-Emotional mini-lessons targeting empathy & understanding the benefits of diversity in cooperative learning situation. Positive group social identity can be formed based on heterogeneous members--building upon variety of talents is another path to strength in numbers!

Who can doubt God and his handiwork when looking at these! Amazing, REAL pictures of snowflakes. Who knew??

This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. I'm delighted to have it now on my Kindle so I can fall into the magic of snowflakes whenever I want. If you want to be inspired by the beauty and uniqueness created by Mother Nature, this is the book for you. I'm also inspired by Mr. Bentley, the "citizen scientist" who went to such great lengths and adopted the latest technology at the time to capture photos of individual snowflakes. Even today, you'll be asking "How did he do that???"

Wunderschöne Bilder!

I brought this because I heard the author's daughter speaking on the radio. It was snowing at the time and everyone is always saying how each snowflake is different but it is pretty hard to confirm that before the snowflakes melt. This book solves that problem and it is truly a work of pure dedication and fascinating at the same time. If you have an interest or just love snow and frost and the beautiful patterns they make or the wonderful scenes that are created this is the book for you.Snowflakes in Photographs (Dover Pictorial Archive)

Great book, highly recommended for anyone intrigued by snowflakes.

Très beau, agréable à regarder. La nature fait bien les choses, la géométrie des flocons,la beauté des formes. Un travail original qui ne vieillira jamais.

「雪の写真家ベントレー」を読んだ後にこの写真集を見ると、感動が更に深まると思います。彼が苦労して是非みんなに見せてあげたいと思った雪の結晶は、本当に美しいです。結晶には一つとして同じ姿がなく、これを見ていると、様々なデザインやイメージが不思議と浮かんできます。自然の美しさに感動します。
