Abstract

Color in Nature, co-authored by Thomas W. Cronin, professor of biological sciences, covers the world of color from the first principles of physics to the use of color in art and design. An even mix of text and beautiful images, Color in Nature (Princeton University Press, November 2024) is written in an accessible style for any reader who harbors curiosity about color in our world, without sacrificing technical accuracy.
