About this title

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.

About the Author

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.

Store Description

We stock books about art, design, fashion, heritage/history and gender/sexuality, specialising in books about Australian, Asian & Pacific arts, crafts design and cultural history. Since we are committed to marginalised and innovative social and cultural practices, we are more likely to have books on women artists or dissident life than coffee-table books on iconic figures. This shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross area, which has provided alternatives to this country's normalcy and suburbia for the last 80 years. Colloquially known as 'The Cross', this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, streetgangs and a world-famous red light district etc. THE CROSS Art + Books is a foundation member of The Bookdealers Guild (NSW).
