内容简介

　　Kermit the Frog famous来自ly said that it isn't easy being green, and in "Living at Micro Scale", David Dusenbery shows that it isn't easy being small - existing at the size of, say, a rotifer, a tiny mul历肥怀丰皮ticellular animal just at the boundary between the visible and the microscopic. "Imagine," he writes, "stepping off a curb and waiting a week for your foot to hit the ground." At that scale, we would be small e稳选留叫型小京周外nough to swim inside the let最减到内井石浓爱酒叫晶ter O in the word "rotifer." What are the physical consequences of life at this scal360百科e?
