Description

Light by Michael I. Sobel explores the many facets of this ubiquitous phenomenon, from its earliest stirrings of emotion and wonder in ancient savants to its modern applications in lasers and silicon chips. The author's goal is to show the unity of the natural sciences by using light as a central theme, making it an excellent guide for readers interested in science and technology. With lucid prose, concise captions, and fascinating photographs, this book provides a comprehensive overview of light in all areas of science. A reference book of authority, Light answers many questions about light, from glow-worms to the aurora borealis, black bodies of the eye, mirages, or fluorescence.
