Synopsis

"Light and Color" explores the physics behind our perception of color, revealing how light waves interact with matter and our eyes. It traces the journey from natural phenomena like rainbows, caused by light dispersion, to technological advancements such as LED lighting, highlighting the importance of understanding wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. The book argues that color is less an inherent property of objects and more a product of physics combined with the human visual system.

 
The book begins by establishing the fundamental properties of light waves before examining the human visual system and its interpretation of different wavelengths as colors. It delves into practical applications like LED technology, emphasizing its impact on energy efficiency.

 
"Light and Color" distinguishes itself by integrating the physics of light with the biology of color perception and the technology of light emission, providing a holistic understanding often missing in specialized treatments. The book's approach is informative and accessible, making complex concepts understandable through diagrams, graphs, and real-world examples. It connects physics with biology, chemistry, and engineering, showcasing the pervasive nature of light and color in different domains.

 
By understanding these principles, readers can apply them to real-world situations, from color mixing in art to improving energy efficiency in lighting systems.

    Most people aspire to become property owners and view real estate investments as an important way to build wealth and security. Mortgages are the norm. But does this system truly serve the well-being of either the economy or the individual? Martin Adams shares a view that profiting from land ownership causes social and cultural decline as well as environmental devastation. He introduces a radically new economic model that points to a more fair and abundant reality for everyone. He says this about mortgages, “As long as it remains an ongoing reality for the majority of human beings to have to pay other human beings for the land that they’re standing on, the economic system will forever cause wealth inequality at a core level.” Tune into this dynamic dialogue in order to fully understand his vision of a more equitable economic system that takes banks out of the picture and puts community in the center of economic of wealth and prosperity.
