The text comprises an extensive set of biographical essays about pioneering scientists, describing their most significant achievements and explaining how their findings influenced the general understanding of color. Grouped by historical period, each part is prefaced with a short introduction that sets the essays into context. Beginning with classical Greece and the works of Plato and Aristotle, the book goes on to describe the advances made by Islamic and European scholars between the 10th and 15th centuries. The subsequent part discusses color formation and visual perception from the 16th to 18th centuries, spanning the Age of Enlightenment. The final part of the book chronicles the most recent discoveries and contributions from pioneers born after 1800, and includes over 60 essays. Among these pioneers are Nobel laureates, vision scientists, and many other notable figures in contemporary color science. A useful reference for color scientists, science historians, artists, and others, Pioneers of Color Science offers a fascinating insight into the development of color science and the nature of scientific advancement. 606 $aColor$xHistory 606 $aScientists$vBiography 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aHistòria de la ciència$2thub 606 $aColor$2thub 606 $aCientífics$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aColor$xHistory. 615 0$aScientists 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 7$aHistòria de la ciència 615 7$aColor 615 7$aCientífics 676 $a509.22 700 $aShamey$b R.$0935767 702 $aKuehni$b Rolf G. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418446003316 996 $aPioneers of color science$92108067 997 $aUNISA
