The text is written with Handel's habitual crystal clarity, depth of thought, and pedagogical talent. It will certainly be a treasure trove of facts, concepts, and new directions for researchers and students alike. --Stephen McAdams, Director, Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music, Media & Technology (CIRMMT) and Faculty of Music, McGill University<br> Far from being a dry recitation of the facts of seeing and hearing, Handel's book is a unique attempt to dig out the similarities and interactions between these two modes of perception. Full of interesting analogies, the book is very provocative and contains enough challenging ideas for individual readers to be able to find specific ones to puzzle over, whether they are students or professional researchers--and regardless of their theoretical views of perception. --Albert S.
