Beschreibung
"This delightful combination of science and history should be required reading for poets, pilots, artists, weather watchers, and anyone who ever marveled at the manifest colors of the sky or wondered why it is only sometimes 'blue.'"--James Rodger Fleming, Colby College
"An absorbing study of historical approaches to the everyday fact of the blue sky above us, Gö tz Hoeppe's "Why the Sky is Blue" is full of revelations. The story it tells of the sky's appearance as an issue of speculation and investigation will appeal both to the specialist and the general reader."--Eileen Reeves, author of "Painting the Heavens: Art and Science in the Age of Galileo"
