Reviews / Votes
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 It is quite the best introduction to the psychology and physiology of perception that I have ever 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. DiscoveryMore details
