Book
What is color? : the global and sometimes gross story of pigments, paint, and the wondrous world of art / Steven Weinberg.
In this zany, inclusive, and vibrantly illustrated guide to all things color, the origins of today's pigments come alive across continents and history, with oodles of art, tons of science--and extensive interactive backmatter! So what is color? A red apple? A yellow banana? The purple goo from a squished sea snail? Once you start digging, color turns out to be a lot of things – it’s messy, stinky, and even a little bit dangerous. You may already know that it’s art, but it’s science, too! What Is Color will take readers all over the world, introducing them to talented, brilliant, creative people from scientists to famous artists and everyone in between as we take the color wheel for a spin. Perfect for curious and creative minds who love paintbrushes as much as microscopes, this clever and eye-catching full-color nonfiction book dives deep into the strange, wacky, silly, and occasionally perilous history behind the colors that paint our everyday lives.
