Review:

...an impressive range of topics makes this textbook an ideal choice for teaching either a course on vision, or for selecting this book together with others to teach a course on cognitive processes. Psychology Teaching Review The book is very clear and easy to read. I could not help contrasting it with the work of many other authors, who seem to think that difficulty in reading their books or articles is evidence of their superior intellect. Its target audience of undergraduates will find it very easy to follow and it would not even be out of place in a public library. This is certainly a book which would enhance your university's library. If you like its approach, it would make a good set book for a vision course. Mike Griffiths, Goldsmiths College in Psychology Learning and Teaching, March 2007. I cannot but write how much I enjoy the book, which since then became my favourite while lecturing in General Psychology (perception). I really appreciate its up-to-date contents; also, no other book on psychology brought so much fun. Dr G Paramei, Interim Professor of Psychology, Darmstadt University of Technology Congratulations to you and your colleagues for having written a truly outstanding beginner's textbook on vision and visual consciousness. I am a newcomer to this scientific field but your book was the perfect introductory material for me-I consider myself very lucky indeed that I chanced across it! I do hope that your undergraduate readers will find Basic Vision as interesting, and hilariously witty, as I did. Dr L. A. Flippin, Director of Medicinal Chemistry, Fibrogen Inc, USA The quality of this book reflects the fact that, between them, the three authors boast over 80 years experience of teaching visual perception. I plan to adopt this text in my final year undergraduate teaching and I would certainly recommend others to do the same. Good science can be fun, and this book exemplifies that.
