DescriptionIllumipedia invites readers on a mesmerising journey to explore the wonders of the natural world like never before. Leveraging the unique interactive approach of the Illumi series, readers use a magical three-colour lens to uncover intricate layers within each stunning artwork. Whether marvelling at exotic wildlife, investigating the ocean's depths, or travelling back in time to the age of dinosaurs, Illumipedia offers a multifaceted experience that enthralls both young and old.
This comprehensive volume brings together the highlights from five pioneering books of the Illumi series, creating a grand adventure that spans six continents. Each chapter begins with an informative introduction to one of the six continents: Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Australasia & Oceania, setting the scene for the mysteries to be unveiled.
In the Nature section, readers can use the red lens to reveal the vibrant world of daytime animals, while the blue lens unveils the hidden lives of nocturnal creatures. The green lens offers a compelling glimpse of the various environments these animals inhabit.
Dive into the Oceans section where the red lens showcases a myriad of fish. Use the blue lens to discover other fascinating marine life. Meanwhile, the green lens illuminates the breathtaking undersea landscapes.
The Bugs section brings the tiniest of Earth's creatures into sharp focus. Use the red lens to examine insects, the blue lens to see other creepy-crawlies, and the green lens to explore the miniature ecosystems they call home.
In the Dinosaurs section, the red lens brings dinosaurs to life, the blue lens reveals other prehistoric creatures, and the green lens displays the long-lost environments they roamed.
From the towering redwood forests of contemporary North America to the expansive prehistoric supercontinent of Gondwana, and from the minuscule ant to the colossal blue whale, Illumipedia is a sweeping journey through time and across the globe, celebrating the magnificence of nature in all its forms.
Enhanced with updated facts, figures, and brand-new illustrations by the renowned Carnovsky, this beautifully crafted edition is designed to captivate and educate. It promises to ignite a sense of awe and curiosity about the natural world in every reader.
