Paperback. Condición: New. Blue is our favorite color globally-the darling of artists since the time of the pharaohs. So it's startling to turn to the realms of nature and discover that"true" blue is truly rare. The sea and sky are blue, but we can't bottle this trick of physics. And the few creatures, plants, and minerals that appear blue are almost all deceiving us. There's no blue pigment in a blue jay-it would be brown but for how its feathers distort light.Kai Kupferschmidt has been enraptured by blue since childhood. In Blue, he invites readers on his globe-trotting quest to understand his favorite color- from Kyoto, where scientists are trying to engineer a blue rose, to Brandenburg, where conservationists hope to save the "little blue macaw." Deep underground where blue crystals grow and miles overhead where astronauts gaze at our "blue marble" planet-wherever he finds this alluring color, it has a story to tell.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Search human history and you'll quickly conclude that we've been enamored of blue at least since the pharaohs. So, it's startling to turn to the realms of nature and discover that "true" blue is truly rare. From the rain forest's morpho butterfly to the blue jay flitting past your window, few living things are blue - and most that appear so are performing sleight of hand with physics or chemistry. Cornflowers use the pigment found in red roses to achieve their blue hue. Even the blue sky above us is a trick of the light. Science journalist Kai Kupferschmidt has been fascinated by blue since childhood. In Blue, his quest to understand the science and nature of his favorite color takes him from a biotech laboratory in Japan and a volcanic lake in Oregon to Brandenburg, Germany - home of the last surviving blue feathered Spix's macaws. Whether it's deep underground where blue crystals grow or miles overhead where astronauts gaze down at our "blue marble" planet, wherever we do find Earth's rarest color, it always has a story to tell.

Softcover. Condición: Fair. Verschmutzung; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. The winner of the thirtieth annual International 3-Day Novel Contest. In 1968, an inconsequential civil servant finds himself swept into the mechanism of state oppression when the Soviet Union invades Czechoslovakia. Put to work processing the arrest warrants of anyone who opposes the repressive regime, he falls quickly into the moral no-man's-land of repressive bureaucracy. As his humanity succumbs to the requirements of state doctrine, a series of chance encounters leads him to realize that in the world of men, there are no saints, no ideologies, no proclamations for a perfect salvation, only the fundamental to act or not. A remarkable literary debut. John Kupferschmidt 's inspiration for this novel came from his parents, who arrived in North America as political refugees from the former Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.…
