LUCKIESH, M. Lighting the home, il *$2 Century 644.3
20–17579
The book considers the problem of artificial lighting both from a utilitarian and an aesthetic point of view. “Light,” says the author, “is the most powerful medium we have for creating or accentuating the mood of a room.... Attention to apparently insignificant details of lighting equipment does much toward converting a house into a home.” Among the contents are: Light as an expressive medium; Safeguarding vision; The functions of fixtures; Various rooms; Novelties in lighting; Colored light. There are illustrations and an index.
“Could be used in high school libraries.”
