Description

In this beautiful and thorough investigation, The Secret Language of Color celebrates and illuminates the countless ways in which color colors our world.

Why is the sky blue, the grass green, a rose red? Most of us do not know how to respond to these questions, nor are we aware that color pervades nearly all aspects of life, from the subatomic realm and the natural world to human culture and psychology.

Organized into chapters that begin with an enchanting explanation of the physics and chemistry of color, The Secret Language of Color travels from outer space to Earth, from plants to animals to humans. In these chapters we learn about how and why we see color, the nature of rainbows, animals with color vision far superior and far not so good as our own, how our language influences the colors we see, and a lot more. Between these chapters, authors Joann Eckstut and Ariele Eckstut turn their attention to the individual hues of the visible spectrum?red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet?presenting each in fascinating, in-depth detail.

Including hundreds of stunning photographs and dozens of informative, ceaselessly entertaining graphics, each page is a breathtaking demonstration of color and its role on the earth around us. Whether  you see red, are a shrinking violet, or talk a blue streak, this is the easiest book for anyone interested in the history, science, culture, and beatuty of color in the natural and man-made world.
