Opis

Colour and Light: Spatial Experience describes the coherent interaction of light and colour in the spatial context. It explains the nature of light to colour specialists, and the nature of colour to light specialists, simultaneously conveying an understanding that light and colour must be thought of together. In addition, it brings out the apparent contradictions between the practically based knowledge of craftsmen, engineers and designers, and the theoretically based knowledge of academics in various disciplines. Including background context, facts and possible approaches, the book provides a basic understanding of light and colour, and their significance for humans in the spatial context.

Recenzje

"The author succeeds admirably ... the history of social psychology from its roots in ancient philosophy to current trends in research is presented in a scholarly, generally concise, and welcomely readable manner."
—Contemporary Psychology

"...a welcome addition to the field's basic literature....would serve as a useful text for systems and history courses on social psychology."
—The Psychological Record

"...a single, concise statement of the development of social psychology from an historical perspective....this is an important book...It is 'must' reading, not only for graduate students embarking on a career in social psychology, but also for veteran practitioners who may have lost sight of the larger picture because of the specialized nature of their current research."
—Sociological Inquiry
