Product Description

Discovery

"It is quite the best introduction to the psychology and physiology of perception that I have every 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."

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 )

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise summary of the basics of vision, 8 Mar 1999

By A Customer

Shows exactly why the eye is not like a camera, and has made me much more aware of the oddities of vision. As an architectural lighting designer, I use this book as a bible and read it more often than any of the books about lighting design. My old copy wore out, which is why I'm ordering a new one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reference No.1, 16 Jun 2001

By A Customer

Lighting Design is all about working with the human visual system. This book provides a great deal of useful information on the process of perception written in a clear interesting and understandable way with copious illustrations of the problems encountered. This does make a good cover to cover read and also provides a good long term reference book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 1 Sep 2007

By	Dr. John Bromilow (Okehampton, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I became interested in this subject following the excellent section on vision, which had been written by a physicist, in the OU's course 'Biology Brain and Behaviour' so read 'Eye and Brain' as a standard work. I found the writing rather woolly and the subject approached from sometimes a philosopical and sometimes a psychological aspect with all the suspect reasoning and even more suspect experiments associated with those subjects. This book in its whole length does not even reach the level dealt with in the OU's course's seventy pages, and ignores much fascinating material and leaves much unexplained. I hate to criticize a standard work, especially one that has long been in print, but I cannot recommend it except perhaps for the very general reader.
