Synopsis
In recent years, there have been many advances in the understanding of how we see. This text provides a current, well-balanced account of the workings of the visual system by integrating new scientific developments within a framework of established theories and concepts. The book addresses topics such as image formation, visual development, and object recognition within a context both traditional and cutting-edge. The author, accounting for the challenge of digesting such a wealth of information, reinforces the reader's understanding by including a "key points" section at the end of every chapter. This comprehensive text is an ideal source of information on the visual system for undergraduates as well as graduate students.

About the book >.>.> The Institute of Biology is once again pleased to have joined with Cambridge University Press to publish a life science text. Many undergraduate biologists have found the Institute's Studies in Biology series (formerly published with Edward Arnold and now with Cambridge University Press) of great value; indeed, life science graduates have also found them useful update texts, so a number of these books have been revised and reprinted several times. However, the Institute's main membership consists of more senior biologists and it was felt that there was a need for larger, more advanced books. To this end, the Institute is delighted to be working with Cambridge University Press. in producing biological texts for those who wish to build on the grounding that the Studies in Biology series provides. Publishing is just one of the many activities carried out by the Instirute of Biology, which is the professio. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM635-VG-13200
