Review
"This review was an easy assignment, for any book by James McIlwain would have to be a gem, and this one did not disappoint. It thoroughly describes the processes of early vision, with numerous black-and-white illustrations and a tight organization...the book is a superb introduction to the state of the art in vision science." Colin C. Beer, The Quarterly Review of Biology
