《色彩的科学》(The Science of Color)第二版[PDF]

色 彩的科学第二版集中着眼于作为现代色彩科学基础的原理和观测资料。本书为普通科学读者而写，广泛得覆盖了来自物理学，生理学和心理学的关于色彩和绘图的重 要的跨学科领域之课题。本书初版的封皮上把本书描述为“为科学家，艺术家，制造商与学生而写的关于色彩的权威著作”。本版也面向更广泛的读者。
本书从追踪十七世纪开始的关于色彩的科学思考开始。通过追随三百多年间的进步与错误，这历史性的视角提供了对色彩科学基础问题的介绍。

===============
This second edition of The Science of Color focuses on the principles and observations that are foundations of modern color science. Written for a general scientific audience, the book broadly covers essential topics in the interdisciplinary field of color, drawing from physics, physiology and psychology. The jacket of the original edition of the book described it as "the definitive book on color, for scientists, artists, manufacturers and students." This edition also aims for a broad audience.

The book begins by tracing scientific thinking about color since the seventeenth century. This historical perspective provides an introduction to the fundamental questions in color science, by following advances as well as misconceptions over more than 300 years.
