We live in a world of colors, and color marks our psychological and social existence. But for all color’s inescapability, we don’t know much about it. Authors David Scott Kastan and Stephen Farthing offer a fresh and imaginative exploration of one of the most intriguing and least understood aspects of everyday experience.   Kastan and Farthing, a scholar and a painter, investigate color from numerous perspectives: literary, historical, cultural, anthropological, philosophical, art historical, political, and scientific. In ten wide-ranging chapters, each devoted to a different color, they examine the various ways colors have shaped and continue to shape our social and moral imaginations. Each individual color becomes the focal point for a consideration of one of the extraordinary ways in which color appears and matters in our lives. Beautifully produced in full color, this is a remarkably smart, entertaining, and fascinating guide to this elusive topic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012251926768,"sku":"9780300171877","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780300171877_p0.jpg?v=1763670087","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780300171877","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
