In this first visual cognition survey text for undergraduates, Enns (psychology and neuroscience, U. of British Columbia) successfully communicates his enthusiasm for this rapidly developing field. He introduces students to vision science and its application to color, edges and objects and concludes with a discussion of issues central to visual consciousness. The text is illustrated with figures that test and explain the slippage between the eye and the brain. In addition to a glossary, the volume has a color appendix.
