À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Blue is our favorite color globally--the darling of artists since the time of the pharaohs. So it's startling to turn to the realms of nature and discover that "true" blue is truly rare. The sea and sky are blue, but we can't bottle this trick of physics. And the few creatures, plants, and minerals that appear blue are almost all deceiving us. There's no blue pigment in a blue jay--it would be brown but for how its feathers distort light. Kai Kupferschmidt has been enraptured by blue since childhood. In Blue, he invites readers on his globe-trotting quest to understand his favorite color-- from Kyoto, where scientists are trying to engineer a blue rose, to Brandenburg, where conservationists hope to save the "little blue macaw." Deep underground where blue crystals grow and miles overhead where astronauts gaze at our "blue marble" planet-wherever he finds this alluring color, it has a story to tell.

Reviews
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection "In readily accessible prose, Kupferschmidt, an experienced science reporter, walks readers through intricate material in chapters that describe blue in stones, vision, plants, language, and animals. . . . The complexities are laid out with wonderful diagrams and illustrations in an engaging and approachable manner. . . . Blue is charming and readable." -- Booklist "A comprehensive history of the color blue [that] deftly bridges mineralogy, botany, and art history to explore humanity's quest for the perfect blue pigment. With equal ease, [Kupferschmidt] describes Picasso's Blue Period palette and the microstructures that blue jays use to 'cheat' their way to a dazzling cerulean." -- Science "Fascinating and well-researched. . . . Kupferschmidt travels the world to understand the history and many origins of the color blue. . . . The book also features striking illustrations of pigments, flowers, and stones that underscore its message that the experience of blue is both universal and deeply personal."-- Shelf Awareness "Human beings have been obsessed with the color blue for thousands of years, and in Blue , science journalist Kai Kupferschmidt travels the globe to discover why it has always been so special. . . .[His] global quest follows his lifelong obsession with blue, taking him to the core of what it means to be human." -- Foreword Reviews "This fascinating book delves into art, chemistry, biology, physics, geology, history, and literature in order to elucidate the beautiful mysterious color blue. Richly illustrated with gorgeous colors and helpful diagrams, as well as quotes from poetry and prose, the book also contains a surprising personal revelation at the end." -- Seattle Book Review Praise from Germany "Using anecdotes, reportage fragments and research stories, Kupferschmidt succeeds in explaining the science of blue in an entertaining and vivid manner."-- Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung "With such dedication and clarity that one is astonished to see what aesthetic pleasure natural science can bring. How does beauty come into the world? As a book."-- Sonntag Kultur "Poets, painters, psychologists--what fascinates them about the color blue? This book shows it in word and design."-- Die Zeit "A hymn to the color blue that makes you want to immerse yourself in the world of research, culture, and wonder."-- Deutschlandfunk Kultur "The book is beautifully equipped, with the blue book cut and a beautiful blue in the cover."-- NDR Kultur, The Mixed Double "Praise for perhaps the most beautiful color in the world in one of the most beautiful books in recent years."-- ZEIT Wissen "Kupferschmidt succeeds in presenting facts concisely and with humor."-- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung "Even if you are not a scientist, you get an uncanny desire to understand such connections."-- Deutschlandfunk Kultur "Everything you need to know about blue."-- BR Fernsehen, "A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection "In readily accessible prose, Kupferschmidt, an experienced science reporter, walks readers through intricate material in chapters that describe blue in stones, vision, plants, language, and animals. . . .
