Shining Art on Light: Colorful Insights
The book tells the broad story of light from creation to modern human invention. The story is told with 66 pieces of art, mostly from 8 museums, with many well known artists. There is simple language with some science concepts, but no equations. It is for the curious of all ages from 12 to 112.
Wrestling with Light: History, Science and Applications
The interdisciplinary textbook traces the history of light from the Big Bang 14 billion years ago to the present, but emphasizes advances in the science and technology since around 1900.
Life and Light
This personal memoir was my first book. It used light as an organizing theme. It was written for extended family and close friends. It was never offered for sale. In doing this I learned a great deal about writing a book, refining it, and getting it printed.
Scholarly Refereed Publications
Throughout my career, starting soon after high school, I had scholarly publications, mostly related to light in one way or another. On many of these, especially later in my career, I was first author.
