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.

Nicholas J. Wade teaches at the University of Dundee. He is also the author of The Art and Science of Visual Illusions (RKP). Michael Swanston teaches at the Dundee Institute of Technology.
