Invisible World

The Magic of Biofluorescence
A dazzling tour around the world to discover nature's best kept secret: biofluorescence.

Embark on a magical journey into nature's best kept secret.

Glowing green fungi, fire-orange soil, blood-red leaves, neon-blue scorpions and pink hedgehogs: this is the magic of biofluorescence.

Invisible World reveals a dazzling world of colour that is completely invisible to the naked eye, and yet all around us. Biofluorescence is a natural phenomenon that occurs when organisms absorb light at one wavelength and emit it at a different wavelength, making them glow in the darkness.

In the first book of its kind to explore nature's best kept secret, Invisible World will turn the rules of colour upside down. On a journey across the globe with naturalist David Atthowe, we explore Earth's biofluorescent wonders, from coral reefs and tropical rainforests, to the depths of the world's mineral mines. We learn how these glowing colours foster secret communication between underwater creatures, light up the night sky with the aurora borealis, and create a deep connection with nature in humans.

You will never see the natural world in the same way again.
