Synopsis
Vision is our dominant sense. We derive most of our information about the world - about where things are, how they move and what they are - from the light that enters the eye and the processing in the brain that follows. Yet, despite the fact that we know more about vision than any other sense, we still do not understand how these functions are performed. The starting point of this study is the function that vision serves for an active observer in the three-dimensional environment. Thus the perception of location, motion and object recognition form the core of the book. The machinery of vision is also described. "Visual Perception" places the study of vision in its historical context, since our ideas have been shaped by art, optics, biology and philosophy as well as psychology.

Review
'... some students who find the more traditional approach dry, boring and without anything that captured their attention will see this book as a life-line and in fact it could be the very thing that turns them back onto the topic of visual perception.' - lain D. Gilchrist, University of Bristol; 'This book is not simply yet another one in the long series of introductory books on visual perception. The authors share their knowledge of the historic roots of current work in the area. Wade and Swanstons's enthusiasm for 'vision as an endlessly fascinating object of study' permeates all the pages of their book.' - Johan Wagemans, University of Leuven, Belgium
