The vision revolution : how the latest research overturns everything we thought we knew about human vision

by Mark Changizi

This work investigates the evolutionary purposes of human visual traits, such as colour vision, forward-facing eyes, and the perception of illusions. It uses scientific research to explain how these features adapted for social signalling and navigating complex environments.

brief_description
In asking why we see the way we do, Changizi overturns existing beliefs and provides new answers to age-old questions. Changizi details the conclusions of his innovative fieldwork and their mind-blowing implications for our understanding not just of human vision, but of the way we interact with the world in which we live. -- Publisher's blurb.
