OTHER BOOKS BY M. LUCKIESH
COLOR AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged.
6 x 9, 150 illustrations, 4 color plates, 431 pages. $4.50
The object of this treatise is not only to discuss the many applications
of color, but to establish a sound scientific basis for these
applications. The book is authoritative, well illustrated, and contains
many references and a wealth of new material. It was written by an
investigator in the general field of color and is therefore not narrowly
limited in scope. It fills a distinct gap that has existed on the book
shelves.
LIGHT AND SHADE AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
6 x 9, 135 illustrations, 277 pages $3.00
The book is a condensed record of several years' research by the author in
the science of light and shade. It is the first published work which deals
with the science of light and shade in a complete and analytical manner.
The author has the faculty of bringing forth scientific facts in such a
manner as to be helpful to those interested in the various arts. The book
is of extremely wide interest because it deals with the appearances of
objects and hence with vision and with lighting. It is well illustrated
and represents the first elaborate attempt to formulate the science of
light and shade and to correlate it with various arts.
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION, Its Properties, Production, Measurement and
Applications.
6 x 9, 12 plates, 270 pages $3.50
