5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT!!, August 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lighting Art: The Aesthetics of Stage Lighting Design (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
A wonderful book!!! Finally a text that talks about the aesthetics of lighting. I was so tired of reading thru design books that spent more time on technical specifications of luminaires than actual design. I strongly urge any and all lighting design professors to utilize this book in the classroom. It is so much more stimulating to an aspiring design student than disussions on double plano convex lenses. I would also recommend Francis Reid's book "Lighting the Stage".

5.0 out of 5 stars incredible lighting text, August 23, 1998
By 
This review is from: The Lighting Art: The Aesthetics of Stage Lighting Design (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
the first text for stage lighting that does not spend half the book explaining electrics... concentrates on aesthetic choices, on developing your own sense of aesthetics, and how to apply your choices to the play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stage Lighting as Art, April 18, 2000
This review is from: The Lighting Art: The Aesthetics of Stage Lighting Design (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Without a doubt, the best book on the market in its treatment of stage lighting as a vital dramatic art form. There isn't the usual multitude of chapters on the basics of wiring, bulbs, equipment which is obsolete before the book reaches the shelves, blue + green =?, etc., etc. Dr. Palmer simply explains how to create a beautiful picture on the stage. This is the step up for which the professional lighting artist has been waiting. Congratulations Richard.
