Reviews

""Friedenberg manages to compress quite a lot of thought provoking material into a modestly size book. There is enough general information here to grasp the key concepts and yet it does not suffer from a lack of detail. An educated reader who wants to learn this material on his or her own should have no trouble following along. Undergraduate and graduate students can also benefit from this text that is written in an engaging way, covering classic literature on visual cognition and consciousness as well as newer, exciting developments."" -Frederick Bonato, Ph.D., Saint Peter's College, USA
