Critics Review
“Color for the Sciences is a work of superb scholarship and stunning originality. It belongs on the shelf of any serious student of color science.” Edward H. Adelson, John and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Vision Science, MIT “Color for the Sciences is an imaginative and thorough exploration of color science: suitable as an introduction for students, yet packed with insights and technical details that will engage the expert as well. The history, mathematics, experimental techniques, practical applications, and even philosophical implications of color science are woven together in an informal style that makes the book a pleasure to read and an invaluable resource not just to academics, but also to those in the corporate world who need to know color science for marketing and product design.” Donald Hoffman, University of California, Irvine
