Download or read book Color for the Sciences written by Jan J. Koenderink and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to colorimetry from a conceptual perspective. Color for the Sciences is the first book on colorimetry to offer an account that emphasizes conceptual and formal issues rather than applications. Jan Koenderink's introductory text treats colorimetry—literally, “color measurement”—as a science, freeing the topic from the usual fixation on conventional praxis and how to get the “right” result. Readers of Color for the Sciences will learn to rethink concepts from the roots in order to reach a broader, conceptual understanding. After a brief account of the history of the discipline (beginning with Isaac Newton) and a chapter titled “Colorimetry for Dummies,” the heart of the book covers the main topics in colorimetry, including the space of beams, achromatic beams, edge colors, optimum colors, color atlases, and spectra. Other chapters cover more specialized topics, including implementations, metrics pioneered by Schrödinger and Helmholtz, and extended color space. Color for the Sciences can be used as a reference for professionals or in a formal introductory course on colorimetry. It will be especially useful both for those working with color in a scientific or engineering context who find the standard texts lacking and for professionals and students in image engineering, computer graphics, and computer science. Each chapter ends with exercises, many of which are open-ended, suggesting ways to explore the topic further, and can be developed into research projects. The text and notes contain numerous suggestions for demonstration experiments and individual explorations. The book is self-contained, with formal methods explained in appendixes when necessary.

Download or read book The House of Four Seasons written by Roger Duvoisin and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the author of the bestselling picture book Petunia, The House of Four Seasons is a bright and lively family picture book about colors, imagination, and compromise When Father, Mother, Billy, and Suzy go house hunting in the country, they fall in love with a grand old house nestled among tall weeds and trees. It is in need of repair, and soon a carpenter, mason, and tinsmith come to set things straight, but it needs painting too. The family agrees it would be more fun to paint the house themselves, but no one can agree on the color, and to make matters worse, the hardware store only carries three colors: red, blue, and yellow. But Father has an idea. “You’ll see, he says, “colors can do many tricks when they get together,” and with a sudden flourish, a color wheel appears! Budding artists and engineers will love this surprising story, and adults would do well to note how Father arrives at a winning trifecta of negotiation, education, and thrift.

Download or read book The Reverse Coloring BookTM written by Kendra Norton and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coloring books became a thing when adults discovered how relaxing and meditative they were. Jigsaw puzzles roared back into popularity as an immersive activity, not to mention a great alternative to television. How exciting is it, then, to introduce an activity that tops them both: reverse coloring, which not only confers the mindful benefits of coloring and puzzling but energizes you to feel truly creative, even when you're weary and just want to zone out. It's so simple, yet so profoundly satisfying. Each page in The Reverse Coloring Book has the colors, and you draw the lines. Created by the artist Kendra Norton, these beautiful and whimsical watercolors provide a gentle visual guide so open-ended that the possibilities are limitless. Trace the shapes, draw in figures, doodle, shade, cover an area with dots. Be realistic, with a plan, or simply let your imagination drift, as if looking a clouds in the sky. Each page is an invitation to slow down, let go, and thoughtfully (or thoughtlessly) let your pen find its way over the image. The Reverse Coloring Book includes 50 original works of art, printed on sturdy paper that's single-sided and perforated. And unlike with traditional coloring books, all you need is a pen.

Download or read book Tasting the Universe written by Maureen Seaberg and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Explores a dimension of synesthesia long encountered in reports of synesthetes: its relation to mystical and artistic vision . . . fascinating accounts.”—Patricia Lynne Duffy, author of Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and lived for a year exploring her synesthesia. The wondrous brain trait is often described as blended senses, but for Maureen, synesthesia is not an idle “brain tick” that can be explained away by science (although it does offer some important clues). It is a unique ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine. Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicists and even Tibetan lamas in her journey toward the truth. Step into Maureen’s shimmering alternate universe as she explores this fascinating subject, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper spiritual truths. “Tasting the Universe is not only the brilliant writing of a top, professional journalist looking in on a strange but romantic phenomena, but it is the writing of a person who could embrace the feelings of those she interviews, because author Seaberg herself possesses this remarkable gift of synesthesia. I predict when you pick up this book, you will be unable to put it down, as it will open up for you a whole new world in our universe.”—The Amazing Kreskin

Download or read book Nature s Palette written by David Lee and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-09-03 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though he didn’t realize it at the time, David Lee began this book twenty-five years ago as he was hiking in the mountains outside Kuala Lumpur. Surrounded by the wonders of the jungle, Lee found his attention drawn to one plant in particular, a species of fern whose electric blue leaves shimmered amidst the surrounding green. The evolutionary wonder of the fern’s extravagant beauty filled Lee with awe—and set him on a career-long journey to understand everything about plant colors. Nature’s Palette is the fully ripened fruit of that journey—a highly illustrated, immensely entertaining exploration of the science of plant color. Beginning with potent reminders of how deeply interwoven plant colors are with human life and culture—from the shifting hues that told early humans when fruits and vegetables were edible to the indigo dyes that signified royalty for later generations—Lee moves easily through details of pigments, the evolution of color perception, the nature of light, and dozens of other topics. Through a narrative peppered with anecdotes of a life spent pursuing botanical knowledge around the world, he reveals the profound ways that efforts to understand and exploit plant color have influenced every sphere of human life, from organic chemistry to Renaissance painting to the highly lucrative orchid trade. Lavishly illustrated and packed with remarkable details sure to delight gardeners and naturalists alike, Nature’s Palette will enchant anyone who’s ever wondered about red roses and blue violets—or green thumbs.

Download or read book Inner Nature written by Annette Poizner Msw Ed D and published by Lobster University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who am I?" For many, this most important question goes unaddressed. According to Psychiatrist Carl Jung, people who fail to form a mature, unique identity get lost in pseudo-identities and 'group-think'. Jung warned, "The world will ask you who you are and if you don't know, the world will tell you!" Without the anchor of Self, a person becomes an angry mouthpiece for causes, one more member of the raucous herd. Psychotherapist Annette Poizner, MSW, Ed.D., RSW, has designed workbooks to help readers access Jung's insights into identity and Self. In these two volumes, readers will color images - to improve comprehension, facilitate reflection and also to promote concentration. Accessing Jung's wisdom through summaries, direct quotes and graphic images provides a 'stereophonic' learning experience. In the first volume, readers learned Jung's ideas while coloring mandalas, geometric renderings which Jung felt graphically represented the concept of the Self. In this volume, we consider why we often reference the animal kingdom when describing people and situations: "He is a real shark!" "There's something fishy going on." "He's a teddy bear!" We will look at animals that embody character traits which play out in our own inner natures. We will find a range of archetypes represented in the animal kingdom and will realize our goal: to find all of creation - all the archetypes - within each one of us. Each reader can discover the animal that corresponds to his or her own essence; also each must cultivate traits associated with the wide range of animals. Use this self-reflection exercise to explore the Jungian archetypes and to explore - and expand - your own inner nature. Learning about Jung's archetypes will spur readers into more active dreaming. The dream journal serves as a log that readers can use to capture their dreams so they can review them over time in an effort to detect patterns. Part guide, part coloring book, part journal, part mirror, Annette Poizner, a seasoned therapist, has assembled a compelling and personal introduction to the magical world of Carl Jung. In books that are both educational and experiential, readers can engage in activities which bring Jung's fascinating insights to life. Annette Poizner, MSW, Ed.D, RSW, has a Master's in Social Work degree from Columbia University of New York and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Toronto. A practicing therapist, her innovations have been featured in dailies across Canada, in trade magazines across North America, and at clinical and academic conferences and in journals. Many of the books she has authored relate specifically to the work of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson: 'A Practical Summary & Workbook for Using Jordan Peterson's 'Maps of Meaning' to Sort Yourself Out', 'An Illustrated Guide to Using Jordan Peterson's Insights Regarding Divinity and the Map of Meaning to Sort Yourself Out', 'This Way Up: A Faith-Based Introduction to Jordan Peterson's 'Maps of Meaning', In Good Standing: Using Jordan Peterson's Insights on the Structure of Self to Sort Yourself Out, Clean Your Room: An Out-of-the-Box Manual for Lobsters, Getting Sorted, Lobster Style: Why (and How) You Can Use Jordan Peterson's Insights to Make Life Better, Lobster Tales: Stories of Lives Transformed by the ideas of Jordan Peterson, among others. She has also innovated a new genre, educational adult coloring books, designed to teach concepts related to Jungian psychology and personal development. Her new series, Jung@Heart, features two additional titles beyond the current volume: The Moon in the Man and The Jordan Peterson Cheat Sheet.
