Though much of Bang’s original text remains the same, the revision offers 12 principles of visual perception arising from this experimentation rather than the 10 that earlier editions included. In the preface, Bang writes that her work explores “only one question: How does the structure of a picture-or any visual art form-affect our emotional response?” Her step-by-step cut-paper illustrations of scenes from “Little Red Riding Hood” attempt to answer this question by experimenting with basic art elements: color, placement, size, shape, and space. What are the good and bad things about dams and where does acid rain come from?įrom greenhouse gases to sustainable systems, My Light holds a treasure of information that is presented in easy to understand terms, supported by detailed and exciting images.īased on her own scientific knowledge and that of her friend Professor Penny Chisholm, an award winning leading expert on ocean science, My Light will captivate and enthral any young reader with a thirst for knowledge.A revised and expanded 25th-anniversary edition of Bang's go-to text about visual perception, or “how pictures work,” delivers sublime design and picture-book–art commentary for readers and artists alike. How does solar power work? What creates lightening? How do wind turbines create energy and why is geothermal energy so important in Iceland? We explore how light and plants create water and how water can be used to generate power. Light is just a small part of this power filled wave spectrum. This process gives off energy which travels out into space as electromagnetic waves. Hydrogen atoms are fused together in the suns atomic furnace turning them into Helium. What starts as sunlight, might millions of years later be burn as coal, which is of course called a fossil fuel as it comes from ancient plants.

This insightful book show us that energy is always changing form. This book quickly covers a lot of ground using fun ideas to simply communicate complex concepts. In My Light the sun itself narrates this exceptional story! Transfixing images show curtains of light particles rippling across a midnight blue sky. The suns power is present in all aspects of our lives, from electricity in our houses to photosynthesis in plants which sustains life on this planet. The Sun is a wondrous powerhouse which brings us energy in the form or light.
