南达出生后，她的整个世界就是母亲的怀抱。 但是随着她的成长，世界也在成长。 它向外扩展，从她的家人到她的朋友，再到城市，再到乡间。 随着它的扩展，南达也想知道构成它的基本形状和结构：嵌齿轮和轮子，雪花中的分形。 最终，南达成为了一名宇航员，并看到了地球的小而圆形的形状。 神奇的几何冥想，《小世界》是一部现代经典作品，表达了我们在广阔宇宙中的大小地位。

When Nanda is born, the whole of her world is the circle of her mother’s arms. But as she grows, the world grows too. It expands outward—from her family, to her friends, to the city, to the countryside. And as it expands, so does Nanda’s wonder in the underlying shapes and structures patterning it: cogs and wheels, fractals in snowflakes. Eventually, Nanda’s studies lead her to become an astronaut and see the small, round shape of Earth far away. A geometric meditation on wonder, Small World is a modern classic that expresses our big and small place in the vast universe.
