| Summary |
"One of the most persistent controversies of modern science has dealt with human visual perception. From the origins of our capacity to perceive space to the retinal mechanisms that mediate color sensations, this text explores many of the most interesting phenomena surrounding perception and vision. Written by some of the field's top professionals, Looking at Looking, brings together a selection of the most influential current thinkers to create the ideal textbook for upper division and graduate students in the field."--BOOK JACKET |
