What is Tallest Tower, Smallest Star A Pictorial Compendium of Comparisons about?

How big is a dinosaur beside the Great Pyramids? Could a hummingbird beat a jet plane, or could a beetle outmatch an elephant? This illustrated compendium explores astonishing comparisons from the natural and human worlds. Discover the fastest creatures, strongest animals, tallest buildings, tiniest particles and farthest reaches of space. Scale drawings, clear explanations and striking Victorian-style artwork make difficult ideas easier to understand, revealing surprising connections between things that seem impossibly different in size, speed and strength.
