Animal Eyes provides a comparative account of all known types of eye in the animal kingdom, outlining their structure and function with an emphasis on the nature of the optical systems and the physical principles involved in image formation. A universal theme throughout the book is the evolution and taxonomic distribution of each type of eye, and the roles of different eye types in the behaviour and ecology of the animals that possess them. In comparing the specific capabilities of eyes, it considers the factors that lead to good resolution of detail and the ability to function under a wide range of light conditions. This new edition is fully updated throughout, incorporating more than a decade of new discoveries and research.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I am in Neuroscience, so I always appreciate to learn about how sensory systems work. Visual systems are especially important in my current studies; and this book is definitely the best introduction to visual systems! I really enjoyed reading this book, since it not only talks about the physics of visual systems across many different species, but also about their ecological relevance and behaviours - Neuroethology!
Un libro excelente para el interesado en este tema. Yo soy oftalmólogo, pero creo que para el biólogo que trabaje en este ámbito también es un excelente libro. Es ameno y fácil de leer y va acompañado de multitud de esquemas explicativos.
