Color science across nature and space

Color becomes a way into a wide range of scientific questions in this illustrated compendium. The topics move from familiar observations—such as the blue tint of the sky and the redness of blood—to animal adaptations, including flamingos’ pink coloring and color changes used for camouflage. Questions about polar bears, hippos and blue moons extend the subject across living things and the wider world. The book brings together bite-sized facts about how color works, with illustrations accompanying its explanations of light, biology and the natural environment.
