The Science of Illumination: An Outline of the Principles of Artificial Lighting (1912)

The Science of Illumination is a book written by Leopold Bloch in 1912 that provides an overview of the principles of artificial lighting. The book covers a range of topics related to lighting, including the physics of light, the properties of different light sources, and the design of lighting systems for various applications. Bloch provides a detailed analysis of the various types of lighting equipment available at the time, including incandescent bulbs, arc lamps, and gas lamps. He also discusses the importance of color temperature and color rendering in lighting design, as well as the impact of lighting on human health and well-being. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of illumination, including engineers, architects, and lighting designers. Despite being over a century old, the book remains relevant today as it provides a solid foundation for understanding the principles of artificial lighting.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
