Into The Mysterium - Michele Oka Doner

I use the word "book" losely when I say that this is the most interesting layout of a book that I've ever reviewed. It's basically a picture book; a long long peice of paper that was folded into pages.
It is a walk through Miami's Marine Invertebrate Museum. It opens with a shot of the museum as a whole which is basically shelves and shelves of catalogued jars filled with salt water and either creatures of plantlife from the waters near Florida.
The water in some of the jars is frustratingly yet understandably clouded with debri from the sea, but most are artisticly laid out and even beautiful.
Often times the vertibrates of the sea get all the glory, so this book is a nice reminder of the smaller things down there at the bottom. I recommend giving it a look.

That sounds amazing and beautiful! The ocean is do diverse it's hard to remember all creatures and plant life in it, but there's some unique things down there. A picture book type layout sounds like the perfect way to go about something like this.
