5.0 out of 5 stars
Favorable Review by Vision Scientist,

This review is from: Color Vision: Perspectives from Different Disciplines (Paperback)
Today, there are other excellent books on color vision available (e.g., Kaiser & Boynton; Gegenfurtner & Sharpe). This book has a number of distinguishing features that make it valuable to color scientists and the interested public.1. Wide scope, including: Neurobiology, neuroethology, molecular genetics, medicine, psychology, color metrics and measurement, philosophy, art, infant vision, and blackness induction. The scope of this book is very broad and multidisciplinary, so it tends to provide consise information about topics you won't find in the other color vision texts. Specific info about chapter authors and content may be found at (...) 2. Excellent graphics. I find it ironic that many books on color vision are not particularly colorful or visual! Let me add my name to the many who have commented on the beautiful illustrations and graphs provided in this book. This striking visual presentaton is unusual for an edited book ; I find myself frequently referring to these illustrations when preparing lectures or writing my own articles. I would highly recommend this book to those who already have some knowledge of color, and wish to supplement that knowledge with perspectives that are different than their own.

Interesting book covering recent research in color vision.,

This review is from: Color Vision: Perspectives from Different Disciplines (Paperback)
Different experts summarise the research up to now (e.g. amino acid variation in visual pigments). Contains attractive color pictures and graphics.
