"Spanning the years between 380 B.C. and A.D. 1949, this collection of important papers on the theory and physiology of color vision provides a selective panorama of the thought and research that have contributed to our present ability to handle color problems in industry and science. MacAdam is an eminent scientist in the fields of color vision and color measurement; scarcely another person exists who could have chosen a set of writings, some famous and some obscure, so well-calculated both to enlighten and to please. Here we find a roster of the great names in the field: Newton, Palmer, Young, Grassmann, Maxwell, von Helmholtz, von Kries, Ives, Schr�dinger, Guild, Richardson, Polyak and Le Gros Clark. There are even modest contributions from Plato and Aristotle. The book is not always easy reading but, for those who employ color in their work or think about color or simply enjoy color and want to know something about its scientific history, this is a fine and thoughtfully selected volume of papers."
—Leonardo
