Focuses not on revelation but eyesight, and not much on the facts of the subject as the principles and practices used in obtaining and processing the facts. Explains how the visual pathway encodes the retinal image, how the neural response within the peripheral and early cortical pathways represents the encoded image, and how we assign to the image perceptual properties such as color, motion, and shape. For vision students. Avoids mathematical symbols and formal arguments except a few sections that assume a background in linear algebra and calculus. Annotation c.

10/15/2003: The book is a gem, covering the foundations of the biological visual system. There is still so much to know about visual processes. What scientists and engineers have developed so far are clever ways of doing computer vision. These however still fail to match the capabilities and speed attained by the biological visual systems. Wandell has collected the wealth of information in Biological Vision into a book that Scientists and Engineers can use to perhaps aid them in the pursuit of a more effective visual processing Architecture. It is certainly not a universal book of answers, but is definitely a book ladden with clues. Easy reading.
