Product Description

Review
'This book is beautifully written throughout. It is clear, concise and interesting, and never makes the mistake of glossing over or avoiding important issues. I know of no other book that, in each new edition, succeeds in maintaining its coherence and its identity, while keeping pace with the changing emphasis of contemporary approaches to vision.' - Mike Harris, University of Birmingham 'The extensive revisions to the text give the book a clear edge in offering an up-to-date view of developments in the field in a very digestible form. The new edition provides the most up-to-date text on vision in the market.' - George Mather, University of Sussex

4.0 out of 5 stars Bridges the undergrad-postgrad gap nicely, 25 Jun 2004
By Famousdog (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
Books on vision science generally fall into two widely separated categories. There exists a mountain of near-plagiaristic basic undergraduate texts such as Sekuler and Blake, Goldstein, or Coren, Ward and Ennis that all contain pretty much the same basic stuff (Face-Vase illusions, Gibson vs Marr, etc) but aren't so hot when it comes to the practical aspects of conducting vision research. There are also high-level, jargon-filled techy tracts such as Wandell or Robson and Carpenter and other books that concentrate soley on classical psychophysical theory at the expense of practical laboratory methods such as Gescheider. In between, for a student who desires to go beyond the undergraduate level there is a sad absence of any decent books. This is primarily the fault of academic publishers who refuse to believe that there is a market for books at an intermediate level that bridge the gap between being an undergrad and being a postgrad. Bruce, Green and Georgeson fills this gap nicely. The previous two editions by just Bruce and Green concentrated more on visual cognition at the expense of psychophysics but the addition of Mark Georgeson as a third author has solved that problem. This really is an excellent textbook.
