One of Isaac Newton’s most influential works, this classic treatise on the principles of colour and light presents his groundbreaking experiments and discoveries regarding the colour spectrum and the nature of light.

Opticks is a landmark publication that laid the foundation for modern colour science. First published in 1704, Newton details his experiments with light, prisms, and the colour spectrum, which led to the establishment of colour theory. His pioneering ideas led to insights into reflection, refraction, and the behaviour of light waves, revolutionising the field of optics.

Highly detailed and thoroughly illustrated, Newton’s Opticks is a cornerstone text on the history of science, the nature of light, and the origins of modern optics. This new edition from Read & Co. Books also features a biography of Isaac Newton. It is an essential textbook for those interested in his revolutionary work and the physics of light and colour.
