Colour vision : $b Being the Tyndall Lectures delivered in 1894 at the Royal Institution

** "Colour Vision: Being the Tyndall Lectures Delivered in 1894 at the Royal Institution" by Capt. W. de W. Abney is a deep exploration into how humans see color, presented as a collection of lectures from the late 1800s. The book breaks down the science behind our color perception, looking at both the body's role, like how the eye works, and the physics of color itself. It starts with the eye, paying close attention to the retina and its parts like the macula lutea and fovea centralis, explaining how these affect what colors we see and how bright they appear. The author uses this foundation to discuss experiments and ideas about color vision and conditions like color blindness as they carefully examine the complicated world of how we perceive color every day. **
