The Physics and Chemistry of Colour: The Fifteen Causes of Color, 2nd Edition 'In answer to the child's question, "Mummy, why is grass green?" one answer could be: "Because!". At the next level of insight it might be explained that grass is green because it reflects green light and absorbs all other colors. A further elaboration would attribute this phenomenon to the presence of specific chemical substances, including chlorophyll. This book aims to investigate how an organic pigment such as chlorophyll interacts with white light to produce a green color, why the sky is blue, why ruby is red, to what process gold owes its yellow color, and how a gem opal or the wings of certain butterflies can display all the colors of the rainbow.' Corners slightly bumped and some small marks on the fore edge. In otherwise fine condition.
