Reviews

'... this book is exactly what it says on the cover: an introductory survey, and an excellent one at that. It is likely to inform and benefit quite a broad readership both within and without academia and I recommend it, particularly for mid-level to advanced undergraduate students of psychology or cognitive neuroscience taking visual perception courses. It will make a good read for anybody else interested in colour vision with a broad art, science or technology background or just curious.' C.
