Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is among the earliest publications on the scientific and practical application of lighting to interior spaces. Written at the turn of the century, it shines a light on the history of lighting, its impact, and the considerable scientific research that went into making artificial light more efficient and less harmful to the human eye. Illustrated with drawings and photographs from the early 1900s, the book explores the relationship between humans and light, the challenges of using artificial light at the time, the detrimental effects of glare, and the many ways to effectively use reectors, shades, and globes to minimize visual strain and enhance the practicality of artificial light. Beyond highlighting the science behind effective lighting, the book also explores how lighting impacts the aesthetics of a space and provides examples of different lighting applications in various environments.
