A Ray of Light: A Book of Science and Wonder

(2) 4-6 Wick explores the concepts of light and color in a sophisticated yet comprehensible format. The gorgeous images of phenomena, in carefully staged everyday contexts, illustrate ideas that span degrees of difficulty, from the easy-to-observe refraction and iridescence to the more complex concepts of light waves and atomic spectra. The interplay between images and explanations encourages readers to wonder and learn. Back matter provides further information.
