Praise for Victoria Finlay's Color "The writing elegant and precise, and with at least one new and fascinating revelation on every single page . . . I could not be more enthusiastic." -Simon Winchester, author of A Crack in the Edge of the World "Color is the essence of landscape, of mood, of our whole perception of the physical world. Victoria Finlay has traveled through Iran, Afghanistan, and other places to investigate the origin of all those tantalizingly sensual ochers and reds and blues. What a creative idea for a book!" -Robert D. Kaplan, author of Imperial Grunts "In this engaging travelogue, a rainbow of hues determined the author's choice of destinations. . . . By the time you read 'Violet, ' you will have traversed much of the world, sharing Finlay's contagious fascination with color." -Conde Nast Traveler "A rainbow of stories . . . even casual natural history fans can enjoy Finlay's conversational style and her enthusiasm." -Chicago Tribune, Praise for Victoria Finlay's Color "The writing elegant and precise, and with at least one new and fascinating revelation on every single page . . .
