It is the unique contribution of this book that gives a survey of the whole subject, in historical perspective. The author, a former professor of ophthalmology at the University of Amsterdam, is an authority in the field of binocular vision (\u003cem\u003eDiplopia\u003c\/em\u003e, 1973) and colour vision (\u003cem\u003eHistory of Color\u003c\/em\u003e, 1999). \u003cem\u003eSeeing Space\u003c\/em\u003e is written for ophthalmologists, optometrists, orthoptists and other practitioners of visual science, but also for psychologists and anybody interested in the philosophy and science of perception. The book contains three parts: \u003cem\u003ePart I\u003c\/em\u003e contains chapters on objective and subjective space and on non-visual space perception. \u003cem\u003ePart II\u003c\/em\u003e begins with a short survey of the visual system. As eye movements are of crucial importance in the perception of space, the evolution of the eye and the eye movements is described. There are chapters on the perception of direction, stereoscopic depth and movement. A sensorimotor theory of space perception is elaborated. \u003cem\u003ePart III\u003c\/em\u003e is dedicated to the perception of objects. There are chapters on the perception of contours, surfaces, dimensionality and size (including the \"moon illusion\"). Finally the problem of the relation between mind and matter is raised, but not solved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46897574740119,"sku":"9789026519550","price":18385.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789026519550.webp?v=1770363329","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/seeing-space-9789026519550","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
