All of science springs from the observation of nature. In this classic book, the late Marcel Minnaert accompanies the reader on a tour of nature's light and color and reveals the myriad phenomena that may be observed outdoors with no more than a pair of sharp eyes and an enquiring mind. From the intriguing shape of the dapples beneath a tree on a sunny day, to rainbows, mirages, and haloes, to the colors of liquid, ice, and the sky, to the appearance of the sun, moon, planets, and stars - Minnaert describes and explains them all in clear language accessible to the layman. Title of the original Dutch edition: De natuurkunde van 't vrije veld : Licht en kleur in het landschap, 1974. Inspiration for James Turrell, Het Hemels Gewelf - Celestial Vault, Kijkduin
