Designed as a text for a one-semester, nonmathematical optics course at the undergraduate level, this well-illustrated text is addressed to art majors but is also suitable for students of fashion, theater, photography, and the liberal arts. Four parts constitute this introductory volume: Part I discusses the nature of light, including early ideas of light (a newly revised chapter for this edition), and classical and modern theories. Part II concerns the manipulation of light, including such topics as geometrical optics, polarization, lasers, and holography; Part III explores vision, including the eye and seeing; and Part IV examines color, in terms of light and color in nature and color science. Three appendices deal with lens and mirror equations, Snell's law, and scientific notation.
Questions at the end of each chapter offer students a chance to test their grasp of the material. The presentation is almost completely nonmathematical in manner, making this book widely accessible to students of all backgrounds and to other readers curious about this ubiquitous but mysterious natural phenomenon.

Very nice shirts but unusually long sleeves
Size: Large, Color: Light Green
PJ PAUL JONES Mens Dress Shirts Wrinkle Free Stretch Button Down Shirt. I bought white, coffee, grey, autumn green and apricot. Colors are true to the ads. I'm 6' , 170 lbs. I bought these in Large. They fit very well in shoulders, chest, and my big belly. As many reviews have stated, the sleeves are unusually long - coming down past my palms to my fingers. I would give them a 4 rating for that but I bought them with the intention of making them short sleeve. The white shirt is just too nice to change so I'll reserve that for weddings and funerals. The apricot is very nice but I just wouldn't wear that color as a casual shirt but it does go with my brown blaser so I'll keep it for rare occasions. I washed them in warm and put them thru warm dryer and didn't notice any shrinkage which I wouldn't expect with polyester. Very good shirts at very good price.

A Solid Buy
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Purchased this shirt to wear to a concert. I love the material because it's stretchy and flexible unlike the traditional cotton. It's mainly wrinkle free but I ran a warm iron to get out the creases from being folded. I wore this with gray pants and it made my outfit feel put together. The sleeves are very easy to roll up and won't come undone. A very nice shirt to add to your clothing collection.

Good looking shirt that runs a bit big in sizing.
Size: X-Large, Color: Green Gray
Nice looking shirt for dress up or casual wearing. Feels like silk, pretty wrinkle free. Lots of colors to chose from at a good price. Runs a bit big in size. I found the sleeves very long for me. But I like the casual look, feel and coolness in the heat of summer for a long sleeve shirt.
