Arie van't Riet is 'inspired by the unbelievable beauty of nature...and its wonderful complexity.'

Reviews for Inside In: X-Rays of Nature's Hidden World

The most intriguing x-ray collection I've ever seen, and I have seen a lot of x-rays. The pictures are enthralling, supported by informative and entertaining facts. Kids will love the book, learning about our natural world in an immediate and unique way. Every picture tells a story they say, but these pictures tell a story on another level completely. A stunning project, truly AMAZING. -Nick Veasey, X-ray photographer and author of X-Treme X-Ray: See the World Inside Out, X-Ray: See Through the World Around You, and Inside Out.
