WSJ's short review: https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/book...
Excerpt:
"Tiny features, such as the scales on a butterfly wing, scatter light in different wavelengths depending on how they are layered—regular patterns will appear solid, like bluebird feathers, while irregular patterns will appear iridescent, like a hummingbird breast. The complexities are endless and endlessly fascinating: Parrots, for instance, may appear green to our eyes, but that’s only thanks to the influence of the structural blue that mixes with their intrinsic color, yellow."
