Klappentext zu „Erwin Schrödinger's Color Theory “
This book presents the most complete translation to date of Erwin Schrödinger's work on colorimetry. In his work Schrödinger proposed a projective geometry of color space, rather than a Euclidean line-element. He also proposed new (at the time) colorimetric methods - in detail and at length - which represented a dramatic conceptual shift in colorimetry. Schrödinger shows how the trichromatic (or Young-Helmholtz) theory of color and the opponent-process (or Hering) theory of color are formally the same theory, or at least only trivially different. These translations of Schrödinger's bold concepts for color space have a fresh resonance and importance for contemporary color theory.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Erwin Schrödinger's Color Theory “

Pressezitat
"Particularly impressive in all of Schrödinger's writings presented here is the frank tentative and open approach that he takes. ... The work is interesting and valuable to non-experts, such as some artists, who might find the mathematics hard going." (Ernest Edmonds and Mike Leggett, Leonardo, .leonardo.info, May, 2019)"I find Niall's translation to be a faithful representation of what I view as Schrödinger's contributions to colorimetry (both fundamental and advanced). ... I stand in awe of Niall's compendium of translations, each done independently of the earlier ones. The arguments one can have about which translation is more 'correct' will be around for a long time and cannot be escaped. For the academician/color-theorist, this book is a must-read." (Michael H. Brill, Color Research and Application, Vol. 43 (04), August, 2018)
