Reviews

From the book reviews: Reading Dickinson and Pizlo s compilations is both enjoyable and educational, due to the wide collection of contributions in a single volume. The book successfully addresses the balance between asking difficult questions, arguing certain answers and providing clues for future directions. A recommended book to interested researchers working towards shape-based approaches to visua perception. (Dima Damen, IAPR newsletter, Vol. 36 (3), July, 2014)
