Synopsis

This book delves into the fascinating world of vision, exploring the science behind how we see. The author takes the reader on a journey through the history of understanding light and its properties, tracing the development of theories from the ancient Greeks to the groundbreaking discoveries of Isaac Newton and beyond. You'll learn about the intricate workings of the human eye, uncovering how it functions as an optical instrument to perceive the world around us. The book goes beyond basic explanations, offering detailed discussions of complex concepts like refraction and reflection, as well as exploring the imperfections of the eye, such as chromatic and spherical aberration. The author examines the nature of light itself, dissecting the competing theories of emission and undulation, providing an engaging exploration of a scientific debate that continues to this day. The book�€™s in-depth exploration of the science of vision and its historical context is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the mechanics of our senses and the evolution of our understanding of the natural world.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
