Book ID/图书代码： 14320224C00002
English Summary/英文概要： In this zany and vibrantly illustrated nonfiction guide to all things color, the origins of today’s pigments come alive across continents and history, with oodles of art, tons of science--and extensive interactive backmatter!So what is color? A red apple? A yellow banana? The purple goo from a squished sea snail?
Once you start digging, color turns out to be a lot of things--it’s messy, stinky, and even a little bit dangerous. You may already know that it’s art, but it’s science, too! What Is Color? will take readers all over the world, introducing them to talented, brilliant, creative people from scientists to famous artists and everyone in between as we take the color wheel for a spin.
Perfect for curious and creative minds who love paintbrushes as much as microscopes, this clever and eye-catching full-color nonfiction book dives deep into the strange, wacky, silly, and occasionally perilous history behind the colors that paint our everyday lives.

About the Author/作者介绍： 史蒂文·温伯格(Steven Weinberg)从一年级的日记开始，着手为文字绘制插画。虽然他已经转向了不同的媒介(不再怎么使用潦草的蜡笔绘图)，他的拼写能力也有了很大的提高，但他对用图画讲故事的热爱还是一样强烈。他的第一本书《前往廷巴克图:九个国家，两个人，一个真实的故事》于2011年由Roaring Brook出版社发行，这是一本由他的女朋友Casey Scieszka撰写的带插图的旅行游记。这是史蒂文和凯西大学毕业后的头两年，他们从北京到廷巴克图旅行、工作和生活的故事。这本书获得了《出版人周刊》(Publishers Weekly)的好评，《书目杂志》(Booklist)称这部作品是为渴望进入世界的青少年准备的路线图。史蒂文一直专注于撰写和绘制图画书，因为他重新点燃了曾经儿时的记忆。他的第一本图画书《雷克斯找到了一个鸡蛋！》，由Margaret K. McElderry出版社出版，之后是他的第二本图画书《你必须长到这么高》。他还在他的工作室和位于纽约卡茨基尔的家里从事各种广告、插图和壁画项目。
Steven Weinberg writes and illustrates kids’ books about dinosaurs (Rex Finds an Egg! Egg! Egg!), mutant astronauts (AstroNuts), snakes on rollercoasters (You Must Be This Tall), and more. He lives in the Catskills, New York, with his wife and two daughters--plus a washer, a dryer, a fridge, an oven, and a dishwasher.
