Description
A beautifully illustrated guide to color in nature reveals how creatures perceive and use color in their lives. Recent advances in fields such as neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology have greatly expanded our understanding of the role of color in animal behavior and human experience.
The book explores the physics, genetics, chemistry, physiology, and psychology of animal color perception, shedding light on the evolution of colors for mating, hunting, fighting, deceiving, and hiding. It also discusses colors humans don't see or rarely use, as well as insights into color blindness, bio-inspired colors, and people's appreciation for art and design.
With a wealth of stunning color illustrations, this book offers a wide-ranging survey of a vibrant and compelling topic, opening your eyes to new ways of perceiving the world.
