Product Information
This is a text about how we see: the environment around us (its surfaces, their layout, and their colours and textures; where we are in the environment; whether or not we are moving, and if we are, where we are going; what things are good for; how to do things (to thread a needle or drive an automobile); or why things look as they do. The author suggests that natural vision depends on the eyes on the head on a body supported by the ground, the brain being the only central organ of a complete visual system. When no constraints are put on the visual system, people look around, walk up to something interesting and move around it so as to see it from all sides, and go from one vista to another. This is what this book is about.Product Identifiers
