Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book celebrates the art of the miniature, but also looks beyond it at the many aspects of "small worlds"--in particular, their capacity to evoke responses that far exceed their physical dimensions.

Considering a wide range of objects, he examines the use of the miniature form in various cultural contexts.
