The Physics and Chemistry of Color: The Fifteen Causes of Color, 2nd Edition

"...investigates just how an organic pigment such as chlorophyll interacts with white light to produce a green color, why the sky is blue, why rubies are red...fundamental concepts needed to understand these phenomena are covered so that no specialized knowledge is required." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001)

"...a fascinating journey into the world of colour." (Chemistry in Britain, January 2002)

"...discusses 15 causes of color and is intended to fill the gap between a general elementary discussion of color and a higher technical level...Nassau has clearly accomplished this goal." (Choice, Vol. 39, No. 6, February 2002)

"excellent survey covering all aspects of the chemistry and physics of colour" (Asia Pacific Coatings Journal, December 2001)
