Review

Focusing on all technical aspects of stage lighting the author divulges his extensive knowledge and experience, explaining natural light phenomena, the history of light in the theatre and Goethe's and Runge's research on the theory of colour as well as technical details, from the fundamentals of optics and projection to the different kinds of lamps, lights, spots and other lighting equipment. - Amazon

Less of a how-to book - Roboxley

Some gorgeous production photos - Brian

Superb book, if only for the photos as already mentioned - not just photos of productions, but also stills of discharge lamps striking, light and colour, etc. Not a book for beginners, but lots of useful and intelligent information however. German/Continental Europe biased (and translated from the German original), but definitely highly recommended. - PDD
