## Description

The Secret Language of Color celebrates and illuminates the countless ways in which color colors our world. Why is the sky blue, the grass green, a rose red? Most of us have no idea how to answer these questions, nor are we aware that color pervades nearly all aspects of life, from the subatomic realm and the natural world to human culture and psychology. Organized into chapters that begin with a fascinating explanation of the physics and chemistry of color, The Secret Language of Color imparts a beautiful and thorough investigation into the nature of color, such as how and why we see color, rainbows, animals with color vision far superior and inferior to our own, how our language influences the colors we see, and much more. Between these chapters, authors Joann Eckstut and Ariele Eckstut turn their attention to the individual hues of the visible spectrum -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violent -- presenting each in fascinating, in-depth detail. Including hundreds of stunning photographs and dozens of informative and entertaining graphics, every page is a breathtaking demonstration of color and its role in the world around us. Whether you see red, are a shrinking violet, or talk a blue streak, this is the perfect book for anyone interested in the history, science, culture, and beauty of color in the natural and man-made world.

Review: Looking for a gift book that won't rub the wrong way? - The perfect coffee table book, this one will be a gift for several people on my Xmas list. Heavy on the natural sciences but with a nod to the social sciences at every chance, the authors cover much territory. The visuals, as you might expect, are often stunning. More than your average coffee table book, it has enough text to keep people coming back. It's hard to imagine a person not finding at least something of interest here. You can page straight to the chapter of your favorite color and save the others for later. In addition to colors, titles of other chapters include: Universe, Earth, Plants, Animals, Humans, and Physics & Chemistry. What is in the chapters that are not specific to only 1 color? In the Humans chapter, for example, topics include: different ways of looking at skin color, color trends throughout history, and how color has been used in symbols. If you are getting the idea that *history* is a recurring theme in this book, then you would be correct. Unless the person you are buying for has a strong aversion to science, I can't see many being offended by the material within (as opposed to about a thousand books I can think of that would not be appropriate as gifts).
Review: Fantastic book, great gift - This is a wonderful book. It is SO rich with fascinating information as well as (naturally) fabulous color! The combination of scientific fact, entertaining history, anecdote, imagery, and smart, witty writing is amazing. When I first got the book I enjoyed reading the text sections, and learned a lot. Ever since then I find myself browsing through its pages, marveling at the beautiful illustrations and devouring the copious sidebars, which are filled with surprising nuggets of information that make you say, "Cool!" Bravo to the authors. My son is a talented artist and I can't wait to give him "The Secret Language of Color" for Christmas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, informative, great coffee table book and gift
*by B***A on November 12, 2017*

EVERYONE loves this book! It's beautiful, well designed, interesting and playful. I'm a nanny and I've entertained the kids (5 and 8) with it for hours. I initially borrowed it from the library and ended up renewing it twice :) I lugged it around in my tote bag for over a month. I brought it to soccer practice once and several of the mom's took it and spent a good 30 minutes looking through it together. Another day on the playground it got pulled out, and a parent and her 3 children all got involved in looking through it. The kids asked me for the book again when we had a long drive recently, and were very disappointed I didn't have it with me. I bought two: one copy for my coffee table and the other for a Christmas gift (and am considering ordering a few more for my gift drawer). It's truly a great one-size-fits-all gift for all ages.
