Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a revised and updated edition of a concise reference work on the basic phenomena of visual perception. The author offers clear explanations of how we see brightness, movement, colour and objects. He explores the occurrence of visual illusions to establish how perception normally works and why sometimes it fails. A new introduction indicates the recent advances made in the psychology and physiology of seeing.
