First sentence: Close observation of a single subject, whether it is as tiny as Pasteur's microbes or as great as Einstein's universe, is the kind of work that happens less and less these days.
Description: Takes readers on a tour into the private worlds of notebook/journal keepers including an architect, a traveler, a film director, an archeologist, a cancer patient, a songwriter, a quiltmaker, a gardener, an artist, a cyclist, and a scientist, to name just a few, illustrating a broad range of styles and techniques that in the end show how each of us can go about documenting our everyday lives.
