Among the 11 authors are eight OSA fellows, п¬Ѓve past or present chairs of the OSA Color Technical Group, the two most recent editors for color at the Journal of the Optical Society of America A, and four recipients of the OSAвЂ™s prestigious Tillyer Medal. This new edition was written by a smaller group of distinguished experts. It was written by a committee of 23, with contributions from the WhoвЂ™s Who of color including Evans, Judd, MacAdam, Newhall and Nickerson. The legendary original edition was published by the Optical Society of America in 1953 and sold until 1999 after eight printings. This edition also aims for a broad audience. The jacket of the original edition of the book described it as вЂthe deп¬Ѓnitive book on color, for scientists, artists, manufacturers and studentsвЂ™. Written for a general scientiп¬Ѓc audience, the book broadly covers essential topics in the interdisciplinary п¬Ѓeld of color, drawing from physics, physiology and psychology. This second edition of The Science of Color focuses on the principles and observations that are foundations of modern color science.
