Boyce; Peter R. ,
"[T]he book is a must-read for those interested in gaining a better understanding of the research and application implications for considering the effects of light on human performance." - Professional Safety, Sept. 2005 "there is much more on the non-visual effects of light in the maintenance of people's health and well-being [in this edition]. The book is superbly written, with flashes of Peter's wry humour throughout this otherwise very serious book. This is a book that every lighting student and professional should have. It provides practical guidance as well as providing the (sometimes) scientific bases for the recommendations given to lighting designers. If you buy only one book on lighting in your life, it would have to be this. I thoroughly recommended it as not only a great investment but also an enjoyable read." - Lighting, Feb. 2004
