"Luckiesh-Moss visibility indicator" mounted on lining-paper. Autographed/signed by author. "Matthew Luckiesh DSc, DE, was a physicist and, as the Director of General Electric's Lighting Research Laboratory at its Nela Park National Lamps Works facility in East Cleveland, Ohio, he pursued research on light and vision. In his day, he was known as the "Father of the Science of Seeing." Luckiesh developed several theories on color and its physiological effect on people. He was also interested in determining the conditions under which optimal visibility was achieved, and in examining the relationship between light and seeing, in order to design better types of lamps. During World War I he studied camouflage, and later invented artificial sunlight and germicidal lamps. Luckiesh produced eleven U.S. patents, 28 books and about 860 scientific and technical articles, published between 1911 and 1960.". Signed.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings to light the previously unexplored phenomena of the "human seeing machine", or more simply, how the mind, body, and processes of seeing connect and interact. The author's research has shown that seeing is not an isolated activity that merely happens through the eyes. Instead, vision is a complex activity that involves the entire human system and its functions. Many factors, including intensity of light, affect how the brain processes visual information, and the author's research explores the implications of this profound relationship. The author also shows how these factors, from lighting to posture to stress, can be exploited to reduce waste of human energy and other resources and to improve overall seeing conditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
