Powers of Ten: A Book About the Relative Size of… por Philip Morrison
This is the greatest science book ever made. It is better than its accompanying video. The book is so concise, yet it includes so much richness, so much research, and so much visual information. Symbolic representation of science is a necessity, but nothing brings it all together like this book. It's an exponential journey through space, connecting the Milky Way to the Carbon-12 atom of DNA of a cell in the hand of a person, a citizen. Copernicus would've wept.

For a museum experience of these ideas, the Hayden Planetarium provides a similar adventure into size and scale.

A classic! I have used this material (and related YouTube videos) when teaching chemistry for years.

Powers of ten: A book about the relative size of… por Philip Morrison
A bit too "popular" in tone -- what a waste all the white space on the page is! It's not as though there aren't things to say. The Morrisons underestimate their audience.

Powers of Ten: A Book About the Relative Size of… por Philip Morrison
Every time you turn a page, the photo zooms in by a factor of 10. The first page shows a billion light years of the universe, then 100 million light years, etc. It takes only 42 page turns until you reach the smallest scale photo--depicting the distance between two quarks.
