Why We Are Drawn to Making Things Small

Bestselling nonfiction author Simon Garfield, known for books such as Just My Type and On the Map, turns his attention here to humanity's long fascination with miniatures, exploring what small scale models, dioramas and collections reveal about the people who make and collect them.

A curious, engagingly written work of popular nonfiction for readers who enjoy books that take an everyday obsession and use it to say something larger about human nature.
