Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illumination: And Its Development in the Present Day Chapters on the further development of illumina tion, the illumination of the printed book, and printed book decoration, are also amongst the additions. The chapters on the application of lettering and decoration from the commercial standpoint have also been developed considerably, and at the end of the book some notes have been added on books for further study. I have tried to write in as simple a manner as possible, so that the youngest student should have no difficulty in understanding the instructions that are given. So many books have been written on the subject of Illumination that it may seem quite superfluous to add yet another to the long list. Still, I think that a work treating the matter from the present-day stand point ought to be of some service to the student who is desirous of practising this art to-day. I have felt for some time past that there was a need for a work that would deal with the various ways in which this art could be applied in a time like the present. I have found that most of the books that have been written on Illumination treat the subject either from the standpoint of the archaeologist or merely from that of the amateur. It is simply the result of a sincere desire to supply what I feel to be a real need that this book has been written, and in the hope that it may serve as a handbook and guide for the serious worker. It has not been written with the idea of introducing a quick and easy method of becoming expert in the art of illumination. Success, in this, as in anything else of importance, can come only through hard work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Direct and Indirect Illumination In order to compare different systems of illumination there must be some means of comparison. Consequently we have the candle power, foot candle, mean spherical candle and etc. The candle power is the unit by which the intensity of a source is measured. Thus a light is said to have an intensity of one candle power when it has the same intensity as a sperm candle which burns 20 grams of sperm in 10 minutes. This is the English unit of intensity. The German unit is 9 of the English. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Lighting Art written by M. Luckiesh and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lighting Art: Its Practice and Possibilities Mankind has enjoyed such an abundance of natural daylight throughout the entire existence and evolution of the human race that the present general indifference to the possibilities in lighting is easily accounted for. With the advent of artificial light-sources of greater adaptability, the activities of man changed considerably and as modern artificial illuminants are readily controllable there naturally has arisen a new science and art, namely, that of lighting. Such desirable features as adaptability and controllability often result in misuses of artificial light at the hands of those who are indifferent so or untrained in the proper use of light. This together with the greatly increased possibilities led to the development of specialists in lighting and, owing to his coimection with many of the activities upon which the production of light depends, the engineer became the embryo from which the so-called illuminating engineer of today evolved. As the efficiency and adaptability of artificial light-sources and the knowledge of the importance of proper lighting developed, the demands upon the engineer became more varied until today when the many aspects and possibilities are becoming more appreciated, the engineer must greatly extend his horizon and knowledge in order to qualify as a Lighting specialist in the broadest sense. Notwithstanding the extensive possibilities in fighting at the present time and the myriad ramifications of the attendant problems into various sciences and arts, there is still a tendency on the part of many to look upon a lighting problem primarily from the engineering standpoint regardless of the nature of the problem. Bearing witness to this fact are the books on lighting which consist largely of engineering data and considerations. A vast amount of lighting which has been well done, has been accomplished through applications of scientific and artistic principles not covered by engineering data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Illuminating Engineer, Vol. 11: Jan. 1918 to Dec. 1918 Since then the movement has made steady progress, though initially it involved much uphill work. It was necessary to kindle an interest in illumination to show its vast possibilities and, in some cases, to remove Old prejudices, by the harmonious co-operation of the members of the Council of the Society, and the services Of the large number of corresponding members in different countries to whom special problems were referred for elucidation as they arose. The writer would like to make special acknowledgment of the able assistance rendered by his friend and co-worker, Mr. J. S. Dow, who has been associated with him in this work since the commencement Of the movement. We have all felt that we were engaged on a labour Of love and a process of self-education. Our eyes were enchanted by the glamour Of a new field of knowledge, with so many rich unexplored regions and such countless interesting channels of communication with other studies. Originally the neglected step-child and nobody's business, illumination is now coming to be rightly recognised as the concern of every body - an essential alike in daily life and in every vocation. It is a legitimate source of pride that this was the first country in Europe to recognise the importance of illumination by founding a special society for its study, and our journal, which has been the official organ of the Society since its foundation, is still the only one in Europe devoted ex elusively to lighting problems and the impartial treatment of all illuminants.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marvels in the World of Light: A Popular Study of the Phenomena of Light, Colour and Sight Without light there could be no trees, no grass, nor any green plant, and, therefore, no food for man or beast. Light is such a common thing that many fail to realize the great interest and pleasure which may be found in the study of its nature, its laws and its operation. Closely connected with light is the organ, the eye, by which we are enabled to perceive its existence. The examination of colour and sight reveals a marvellous and intricate arrangement by which light and the eye were made mutually responsive so as to render sight possible. Many of these most interesting facts are unknown to thousands, who have no idea of the nature of light, colour and sight.

Download or read book A Treatise on Light Classic Reprint written by R. A. Houstoun and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Light This book is intended for students who have been through a, first year's physics course and who are proceeding further with the study of light. It differs from other books on light by a more systematic treatment, also by dealing with the full scope of the subject and including the results of recent investigations. A good knowledge of elementary mathematics is assumed. The calculus is used, but I hope that the results obtained by its aid will be intelligible to those who cannot follow the intermediate steps, and in any case the greater part of the book is free from it. Of the 328 figures more than 270 have been specially drawn for the book. Mr. Chas. Cochrane, M.A., B.Sc., has read all the proof-sheets and has worked all the examples. The book is the fruit of nine years' teaching and experimenting at Glasgow University, and I am indebted to Prof. G-ray and the other members of the staff of the Natural Philosophy Department, and also to some of the advanced students for much stimulation and encouragement. Prof. Gray has also read part of the proofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Effect of Illumination on Peripheral Vision The outcome was negative. It seemed, however, that the most favorable conditions required had not been secured; and further tests were therefore necessary. The present study was undertaken largely for the purpose of furnishing such supplementary tests. It was thought, moreover, that further work might throw light on certain irregularities in F ernald's general results. We undertook, therefore, to repeat Fernald's experiments, with additional variations, under exactly duplicate conditions. After our experiments had been completed and put in what then seemed final form, a paper appeared3 in which Fernald's theses were attacked from a new direction. Rand and Ferree now declared that instead of selecting the most favorable conditions for her phenomena - colored after-images from colored stimuli sensed as colorless - Fernald had chosen the very worst. They were unable to confirm the results that she obtained in the Bryn Mawr and Chicago laboratories; i. E., they, failed (as a rule) to get the anomalous colored after images, when a white background was used. On the other hand, they were able, if they used a black background, pre fixation ground, and projection ground, to secure these anoma lous after-images practically in every trial.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light and Water: A Study of Reflexion and Colour, in River, Lake and Sea In presenting the following essay to the public, the author disclaims at the outset all pretension to teach anyone how to paint. His aim has been to give his readers an elementary acquaintance from the scientific side with the subject of the reflexions and colours seen in water, and he believes that an artist who will approach it from this standpoint will find a study of the questions discussed in these pages to be both of interest and service. In this, as in other cases, a true enjoyment of nature will not be marred, but rather increased, by a closer examination of her methods. The book being intended primarily for the use of the artist or art student, there is no attempt to make the account of the subject scientifically complete, even in the ground which these pages cover. The principles involved are of a very elementary nature, and not likely to discourage the most diffident.
