Hazel Rossotti's Books

This fascinating study examines the nature of fire, its symbolic significance, exploitation, and control. Lively, well-illustrated text explores the use of fire for comfort, in ancient forms of worship, more.

Uses the scientific basics of matter, energy, and eye structure to discuss the colors of the natural world; the mechanics of color vision; color technology like ceramics and television; the uses of color for camouflage, signalling, symbolism, and conveying mood in art and language; refraction; rainbows; chlorophyll; color blindness; and more.

ABOUT THE BOOK 1806: Chemistry lectures were all the rage in fashionable London, and not only for men. But one member of the audience at the Royal Institution thought that women would benefit more from the lectures if there were a suitable book to accompany them. So Jane Marcet wrote Conversations on Chemistry, which features Mrs. B. tutoring two bright teenagers: diligent Emily and ebullient Caroline. The book inspired not only women; Michael Faraday was one of Marcets many fans, and nearly 160,000 copies of the fifteen editions of the book were eventually sold in Britain and North America. To understand the books popularity, to enjoy Marcets fresh approach and elegant diagrams, and to learn much of the social life of the time, todays reader need only dip into these lively selections, introduced by a former tutor of chemistry. Although some of the science may now seem quaint, Mrs. B.s educational ideas, and Carolines undisciplined intelligence will strike a chord with many of todays teachers and their former pupils.

Deals with the colour of the natural world, the mechanics of colour vision, colour technology and the use of colour.
