Deadly Science: Light and Colour

Discover the remarkable science of light and colour with Light and Colour, part of the Deadly Science series by Australian Geographic, created with Corey Tutt. From the warmth of sunlight to fluorescent lighting and lasers, this book explores how humans have harnessed light over time — and how its properties continue to surprise and challenge us. Light can bend and fool the eye, act as both a wave and a particle, and even alter our body chemistry depending on how much or how little of it we receive.

Blending modern science with the knowledge of First Australians, the book offers a rich and layered understanding of light and colour and the many ways they shape our world. Designed to inspire curiosity and scientific thinking, it's a meaningful resource for young learners eager to see the world in a new light.
