This book combines sensation and perception with all biological-sensory aspects of perception with all biological-sensory aspects of perception covered from an evolutionary point of view. It raises the key question: How do the senses gather and secure information about the outside world? This basic question is addressed by explaining how the physical world interacts with and stimulates the senses, and, in turn, how the sense and the nervous system transform, integrate, and process the stimulation.

MUY RECOMENDADO,
By
This review is from: Sensation and Perception: An Integrated Approach (Hardcover)
Compré este libro acá en Ecuador en español, edición mexicana (ISBN 970-729-128-1) -traducido de la quinta edición en inglés. Estuve buscando un libro sobre percepción y cognisción y los que encontré no me convencían del todo, pues contenían términos muy técnicos y mucha teoría que solo un profesional podía entener. Soy diseñador e infografista y debo decir que este libro es lo que necesitaba. El Dr. Harvey Richard S. se ha esforzado en explicar de manera interesante y muy clara conceptos y referencias sobre la sensación y percepción de nuestros sentidos. Y sobre todo lo que vi más conmovedor es que tiene gráficos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Lo recomiendo.!!!!
*************** I bought this book here in Ecuador in Spanish-translated from the fifth edition. I was looking for a book about perception and cognisción and I found did not convince me at all, they provided technical terms and a lot of theory that only a professional could understood. I'm a designer and infographist designer and I must say that this book is what I needed. Dr. Richard Harvey S. has sought to explain in very clear and interesting concepts and references on sensation and perception of our senses. And above all it has graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... I recommend it .!!!!
