Full description for Optical Illusions

• This work is an intriguing collection of baffling images and shapes that change before your eyes: hidden figures, incredible designs and dazzling graphic patterns. The book includes such well-known optical illusions as: Shepard's Tabletop; Wade's Spiral; the Floating Finger Illusion; Ames Room; and Rubin's Face/Vase Illusion. There are more than 275 illusions in all, with explanations of each image and notes about the science of visual perception. There is a huge variety of themes. Every type of optical illusion is represented: Figure/ground illusions; Shape-shifting illusions; Ambiguous figures; Impossible objects; Trompe l'oeil; and Stereo Illusions. Illusions are rendered in photographs, artwork and computer imaging and all reproduced in full colour. The author is a leading authority on visual and sensory illusions, and writes an illusions column in "National Geographic Kids" magazine.
