Color and Its Applications
by Matthew Luckiesh - D. Van Nostrand company , 1921
The book presents a condensed treatment of the science of color. An attempt has been made to cover as many phases of the subject as possible within the confines of a small volume. The science of color is treated from the viewpoint of applications.
