Designed as a text for a one-semester, nonmathematical optics course at the undergraduate level, this well-illustrated text is addressed to art majors but is also suitable for students of fashion, theater, photography, and the liberal arts. Four parts constitute this introductory volume: Part I discusses the nature of light, including early ideas of light (a newly revised chapter for this edition), and classical and modern theories. Part II concerns the manipulation of light, including such topics as geometrical optics, polarization, lasers, and holography; Part III explores vision, including the eye and seeing; and Part IV examines color, in terms of light and color in nature and color science. Three appendices deal with lens and mirror equations, Snell's law, and scientific notation.
Questions at the end of each chapter offer students a chance to test their grasp of the material. The presentation is almost completely nonmathematical in manner, making this book widely accessible to students of all backgrounds and to other readers curious about this ubiquitous but mysterious natural phenomenon.

Will be a favorite go to if…
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Great soft easy wear shirt. Through no fault of its own, if you have a big belly you might want to size up. I’m not going to punish the shirt with a star deduction for that. A slight belly will happily put you in your regular size category. Other than that, this will probably be one of your reach for fav’s.

Awkward fit
Color: Light Khaki, Size: Medium
A bit of an awkward fit in terms of size of arms, chest, and stomach. If between sizes I would probably recommend sizing down.
