Whitehead reviews the design concerns and considerations presented in residential interior and exterior lighting. Proceeding room by room, the book offers an abundance of photographs that show various lighting, such as track, recessed, and the like, with captions detailing how the lighting is used to create a look or to solve a problem. Although not a how-to book, this will give amateurs as well as professionals an idea of how to use lighting to create dramatic effects. An author-recommended list of architects and interior and lighting designers as well as a glossary concludes the work. A fine choice for larger collections. (Library Journal)
