商品描述
A visual exploration of the power and behavior of light, across the electromagnetic spectrum, and how it affects life on earth and everything in the Universe.
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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
對光的力量和行為進行視覺探索，涵蓋電磁波譜，並探討其如何影響地球上的生命及宇宙中的一切。
光使我們能夠看見周圍的一切，但人類只能看到所有光中的一小部分，這被稱為電磁波譜。在這本書中，Kim Arcand 和 Megan Watzke 以前所未有的方式呈現光的主題。書籍按照電磁波譜的順序組織，每一章專注於不同類型的光。從用於電信的無線電波，到讓我們能夠窺視人體內部及觀察深空中黑洞周圍區域的X射線，Arcand 和 Watzke 向我們展示了光對我們的重要影響。引言章節描述了光是什麼以及它的行為，而數百幅全彩照片和插圖則展示了概念，使這本書成為一本令人驚豔的讀物，讓人愉悅地閱讀和瀏覽。
