Requests:  0 Summary:  "Search human history and you'll quickly conclude that we've been enamored of blue at least since the pharaohs. So, it's startling to turn to the realms of nature and discover that "true" blue is truly rare. From the rain forest's morpho butterfly to the blue jay flitting past your window, few living things are blue--and most that appear so are performing sleight of hand with physics or chemistry. Cornflowers use the pigment found in red roses to achieve their blue hue. Even the blue sky above us is a trick of the light. Science journalist Kai Kupferschmidt has been fascinated by blue since childhood. In Blue, his quest to understand the science and nature of his favorite color takes him from a biotech laboratory in Japan and a volcanic lake in Oregon to Brandenburg, Germany--home of the last surviving blue-feathered Spix's macaws. Whether it's deep underground where blue crystals grow or miles overhead where astronauts gaze down at our "blue marble" planet, wherever we do find Earth's rarest color, it always has a story to tell." -- inside front jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 535.6 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 535.6 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 535.6 Ku Checked out 10/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 535.6223 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 535.6 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 535.6223 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 535.6223 Ku Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
