Visual Perception: An Introduction (Introductions to Modern Psychology)
Vision is the most dominant of our senses. From it we derive most of our information about the world: the identity of things, where they are located, and how they move.
In Visual Perception, Nicholas J. Wade and Michael Swanston take a refreshingly different approach to perception. Their CCCC"viewCCCC" starts from the basis of what function vision actually serves for an active observer in a three-dimensional environment. The perception of location, motion, and object recognition forms the core of their book. The result is a readable, accessible, and truly relevant introduction to the world of perception which is especially valuable to students of psychology.

Review:
'... some students who find the more traditional approach dry, boring and without anything that captured their attention will see this book as a life-line and in fact it could be the very thing that turns them back onto the topic of visual perception.' - lain D. Gilchrist, University of Bristol; 'This book is not simply yet another one in the long series of introductory books on visual perception. The authors share their knowledge of the historic roots of current work in the area. Wade and Swanstons's enthusiasm for 'vision as an endlessly fascinating object of study' permeates all the pages of their book.' - Johan Wagemans, University of Leuven, Belgium
