Other Publications by Scott Gracie
Scott’s passion for education and technology has inspired a range of books with topics about light, energy and colour. Scott believes no matter how old we are, our learning experiences can shape our futures and influence our lives in positive and unimaginable ways.
Non-Fiction Books:
Light, Dark, and the electromagnetic spectrum – Since the dawn of time, electromagnetic energy has permeated through the universe and emptiness of space, surrounding and interacting with everything it touches, illuminating, destroying, and giving life. The colourful section of the electromagnetic spectrum we see in the form of visible light, rainbows and other phenomena is tiny when compared to its vast entirety.
Lighthouses – This book offers a photographic journey through the world of lighthouses. Towering sentinels of our waterways and oceans that have guided sailors through treacherous conditions for centuries.
Children’s Non-Fiction Books:
Light is Amazing! – Light truly is amazing. This picture children’s book, in a plain yet informative way, introduces children to learning about light and the electromagnetic spectrum, which is a common connection between a lot of our technology used today. Colour, cooking, TV, radio, GPS, sunscreen, cameras and more all have light or the electromagnetic spectrum in common.
Our Wonderful World of Colours – Did you know that light is the secret behind all the colours you see? Light may look white, but it’s actually made up of many different colours. These colours can be seen when light passes through something like a raindrop or a prism, splitting the light into a beautiful rainbow.
Author Bio – Scott Gracie
Alongside his main title Light, Dark, and the Electromagnetic Spectrum, Scott has written other publications exploring how light and the electromagnetic spectrum influence our lives, from education and technology through to everyday experience. His interest began in his early teens, tinkering with electronics as a hobby, and grew further once he studied Electrical and Electronics after school at Randwick North High School in Sydney.
In 1998, Scott started building custom light fittings and lamps in his father’s garage. Formal lighting-design qualifications later expanded his work into project management and design, and over twenty-five years on, he has worked across infrastructure, commercial and architectural lighting projects throughout Australia. Scott Gracie’s non-fiction books are aimed at readers of all ages, and he is a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia & New Zealand, the Colour Society of Australia, the International Dark Sky Association, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and the Australian division of the CIE.
