Buy Light: The Visible Spectrum and Beyond by Arcand, Kimberly, Watzke, Megan online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: A large-format picture book about the entire electro-magnetic spectrum (including the 95% we CANNOT see). Almost every page is a large photo or diagram, or a group of related photos. Not a great deal of technical info, but enough to cover the material (and suitable for older children). Since x-rays, gamma rays, and infrared are topics of astronomy, many photos are from that research. A brief glance through the book might lead one to believe it's about deep space astronomy, but it covers much more. The book's layout and photos are stunning. I wish that visible light was covered in more detail. Review: The photos are stunning and the science is well explained. Really good use of real world examples. This is a great book to start with if you're trying to understand the electromagnetic spectrum. Even if you know it already, get it for the stunning photos. It's a big book, beautifully presented.
