This is a revised and updated edition of a concise reference work on the basic phenomena of visual perception. The author offers clear explanations of how we see brightness, movement, colour and objects. He explores the occurrence of visual illusions to establish how perception normally works and why sometimes it fails. A new introduction indicates the recent advances made in the psychology and physiology of seeing.

Review

This book is essential reading for researchers of lighting and visual perception ... I strongly expect they will find it an interesting read, and may even find inspiration for new ideas. (Lighting, Research and Technology )

It could hardly be better done. The author has managed to explain very complex matters with exemplary lucidity.. (The Economist )

It is quite the best introduction to the psychology and physiology of perception that I have ever come across. For anyone interested in this fascinating topic, be they intelligent layman, university student, or smart sixth-former, I can hardly recommend it too strongly. (Discovery )
