Recenzii
"I enjoyed reading this book written by world-leading scientists and historians with much experience in the history of science in general and science of optics; this is the main strength of this book. Another strong aspect of the book is that it's an international collective effort, containing contributions from people with multi-cultural and multi-faith backgrounds."
—Ali Al-Kamli, Jazan University, Saudi Arabia
"… a true presentation of the journey of science of light, starting with the pioneering works on optics by Ibn al-Haytham – an Arab mathematician and physicist, a thousand years back, and the influence of his scientific methods on the European renaissance. Ibn al Haytham was like a pole star, whose light guided the future scientists like Newton, Fresnel, Maxwell, Einstein and many others to unravel the mysteries of light."
—Zahid H. Khan, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India
"This book is very interesting: short complementary sections with high-level information on science evolution, technology and development over time and over space."
—Zohra ben Lakhdar, Faculty of Science in Tunis, Tunisia
"The broad approach includes cultural, social and historical aspects of light-based science and technology, and the chapters are written by international scholars with a wide range of backgrounds. The book will be very valuable to science historians, and people working in optics, photonics, vision science and many other light-based technologies."
—Alexander A. Sawchuk, University of Southern California, USA
"This book contains the contributor’s presentations at a 2015 conference to celebrate the legacy of Ibn al-Haytham (965-1040)—specifically, his philosophical, mathematical and experimental works as contained in the first three extant books of his Book of Optics. For readers who are not familiar with the translations and extensive scholarly commentary of A. I. Sabra, and A. Mark Smith, this book is a recommended
"This books explores the pervasive influence of light in science, technology, policy and education. It covers Ibn al-Haytham’s optics, light-emitting-diode lighting for sustainable development, global and atomic-scale time with new light sources, advanced technology and vision science. Cutting-edge optical technologies are presented, and challenges for renewable energy, the global impact of photonics, and optical and photonic education technology are addressed in detail. Practical examples and illustrations are provided throughout the text. This book is written as a multidisciplinary reference book by leading scholars in the history of science and photonics."
