What is How We See Things about?

Why is the sky blue, and how can a mirror make an image appear? This engaging introduction to light and colour explores the science behind seeing. Readers discover how light travels, reflects from surfaces and enters the eye, allowing the brain to form pictures of the world. Clear explanations and everyday examples reveal why shadows change, colours appear differently in various conditions, and optical effects can trick our senses. Along the way, young scientists learn to look more closely at the world around them.
