Customer Reviews: Disappointing September 1, 2007 0 out of 2 found this review helpful I became interested in this subject following the excellent section on vision, which had been written by a physicist, in the OU's course 'Biology Brain and Behaviour' so read 'Eye and Brain' as a standard work. I found the writing rather woolly and the subject approached from sometimes a philosopical and sometimes a psychological aspect with all the suspect reasoning and even more suspect experiments associated with those subjects. This book in its whole length does not even reach the level dealt with in the OU's course's seventy pages, and ignores much fascinating material and leaves much unexplained. I hate to criticize a standard work, especially one that has long been in print, but I cannot recommend it except perhaps for the very general reader. Reference No.1 June 16, 2001 5 out of 7 found this review helpful Lighting Design is all about working with the human visual system. This book provides a great deal of useful information on the process of perception written in a clear interesting and understandable way with copious illustrations of the problems encountered. This does make a good cover to cover read and also provides a good long term reference book. Clear and concise summary of the basics of vision March 8, 1999 4 out of 5 found this review helpful Shows exactly why the eye is not like a camera, and has made me much more aware of the oddities of vision. As an architectural lighting designer, I use this book as a bible and read it more often than any of the books about lighting design. My old copy wore out, which is why I'm ordering a new one!
