 The History of Vision, Colour, & Light Theories
Introductions, Texts, Problems
Gabor A. Zemplen
Bern, 2005. ISBN 3-9522882-4-1

Egy kis kedvcsináló:

"This is not a standard history nor was it intended to be. On the one hand, several themes are chosen, and examined in detail. These include the nature of colour as expressed in a variety of phenomena, like colour mixing, the rainbow, and the prismatic spectrum. Spatial perception, as evidenced in the moon illusion and in vision following the restoration of sight, is also addressed. ... The particular strength of the book is the coverage of pre- and post-Newtonian theories of colour. ... Throughout this historical odyssey questions are posed for the reader to answer, hints are given regarding the likely resolution of them, and the texts provide the context in which they can be understood. The subtitle of the book, and Gábor Zemplén's stated intent, is that this should provide an introduction to "those who are interested in theories of light, colour, and vision". Its appeal will engage a much wider audience than the students to whom it is specifically directed. The texts selected provide ready access to materials that are often widely scattered, and pursuing the references in the bibliography will provide rich rewards."

From the Foreword by Nicholas J. Wade

Originally taught as a course to a wide variety of undergraduate students, the material has been rewritten as a book to suit students of various disciplines - physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, visual studies, art history, philosophy, history, cultural studies -, including postgraduate students in history of science. The emphasis is on helping students gain practice in reading primary texts in the history of science, and on developing a multidisciplinary and sensitive approach to these texts. For this reason the stress is more on learning to ask questions than on learning the answers, more on seeing differences in attitude, claims, and arguments than on giving clear-cut answers.
The book provides ample material for a semester?s course and most of the chapters admit to a chapter-a-week approach.
