Light allows us to see everything around us, but humans can only see a sliver of all light, known as the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, Kim Arcand and Megan Watzke present the subject of light as never before. Organized along the order of the electromagnetic spectrum, each chapter focuses on a different type of light. From radio waves, harnessed for telecommunications, to X-rays, which let us peer inside the human body and view areas around black holes in deep space, Arcand and Watzke show us all the important ways light impacts us. An introductory chapter describes what light is and how it behaves, while hundreds of full-color photographs and illustrations demonstrate concepts and make for a stunning book that's a joy to read and browse. Review: The "Encyclopedia of Light!" It's a MUST HAVE for those Interested in the Fascinating Properties of Light! A Great Gift Idea! - I just received the 1st of two books I ordered from desertcart today written by Kim Arcand and Megan Watzke! "Light The Visible Spectrum and Beyond" and all I can say is WOW! This hardcover book is Spectacular in Every Detail from the Unbelieveable Images to the Accompanying Narratives that describe each Aspect of Light in Fine Detail! I thought I knew something about light since I've been a photographer all of my life and have a high-level of interest in Astronomy and the Sciences, but I've never seen another book like it! I have to consider this book the entire "Encyclopedia of Light!" It's a MUST HAVE for all Astronomers, Astrophotographers, Cosmologists, Physicists, or anyone else interested in learning about the many Fascinating Properties of Light! Purchase this well-written book for yourself or as a gift for your child, a family member or friend! You will not be disappointed! Kim Arcand works for NASA as a Visualization lead for the Chandra X-Ray Telescope and Megan Watzke works at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Both of these women have excellent credentials and they have done an Outstanding Job in writing this book! Update January 1st 2016 Recommended by Scientific American! http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/book-review-light/ Review: Beautiful and Revealing Book for All Forms of "Light" - 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. ## Features - Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,094,038 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #43 in Optics for Physics #674 in Chemistry (Books) #1,457 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 250 Reviews | ## Images ![Light: The Visible Spectrum and Beyond - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pMgtqZC2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The "Encyclopedia of Light!"

Rather deep detail and suitable for the layman who wants detail. Light refers to the entire electromagnetic spectrum, not just visible light.
