Light: The Visible Spectrum and Beyond

The photos are stunning and the science is well explained. Really good use of real world examples. This is a great book to start with if you're trying to understand the electromagnetic spectrum. Even if you know it already, get it for the stunning photos. It's a big book, beautifully presented.

Absolutely fascinating book, without too much text to baffle the layperson but with excellent photos. I wanted to find out about the electromagnetic spectrum, and this book really deals comprehensively with it, but in a readily comprehensible way.

very good and informative book, enjoyed reading it and will probably do so again, in case I missed a bit.

Fantastic! Arrived really quickly and as described.

A large-format picture book about the entire electro-magnetic spectrum (including the 95% we CANNOT see). Almost every page is a large photo or diagram, or a group of related photos. Not a great deal of technical info, but enough to cover the material (and suitable for older children). Since x-rays, gamma rays, and infrared are topics of astronomy, many photos are from that research. A brief glance through the book might lead one to believe it's about deep space astronomy, but it covers much more. The book's layout and photos are stunning. I wish that visible light was covered in more detail.

Must have

This is a terrific book describing how the spectrum of light is used for scientific research. It's beautifully illustrated, a coffee table book and easy to understand too!

Great book but came a bit beaten
