Synopsis
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.

Visual Perception: An Introduction
Seller: Leura Books, Bowral, NSW, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Good. Vision is our dominant sense. We derive most of our information about the world - about where things are, how they move and what they are - from the light that enters the eye and the processing in the brain that follows. Yet, despite the fact that we know more about vision than any other sense, we still do not understand how these functions are performed. The starting point of this study is the function that vision serves for an active observer in the three-dimensional environment. Thus the perception of location, motion and object recognition form the core of the book. The machinery of vision is also described. "Visual Perception" places the study of vision in its historical context, since our ideas have been shaped by art, optics, biology and philosophy as well as psychology. 212 pages.
