Reviews

Lee and Fraser combine informative text, images, and diagrams in this eclectic survey of cultural and scientific perspectives on the interaction between sunlight and raindrops. </p>--<em>Science</em></p>


Lee and Fraser are masters of prose, and their book is sumptuously produced and abundantly illustrated. They are to be congratulated for producing not only a definitive rainbow scholarship but also a gorgeous work of cultural synthesis. Michael Berry, Physics Review


<p> The Rainbow Bridge is an outstanding book.<p>A treasure, and a treasure trove. <p>--Jack Harris, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews
