University Readers

The following are responses to the first edition (not the New Abridged Edition):

"Looking at Looking promises to be slightly controversial and fun. Visual perception is a core topic in experimental psychology, and these authors are central figures in the field. … The book will be useful in undergraduate courses in perception that additionally use standard works to provide more content, and it will be read by graduate students and faculty in the field for interest in how these authors address one another. … I would purchase the book and I would very likely use it as supplementary reading in upper-level courses on perception."
—Gregory Lockhead, Duke University

"I think the structure and overall organization is creative and part of the book's strength. … Moreover, the authors and commentators enlisted are stellar. … I think it would serve as a wonderful supplementary text in sensation and perception."
—Lawrence Cormack, University of Texas, Austin

"The key strengths of this book are the expertise of the contributors, the engaging format, and the interesting examples they use."
—Greg Burton, Seton Hall University

Many of the most captivating phenomena and ideas within the field of perception revolve around the question of the intelligence (or not) of vision. Written by some of the field's top professionals, Looking at Looking makes these readily available to new upper-division students as a compelling answer to the question, "Why study perception?"
