This book deals in popular terms with some of the phenomena and problems of vision, particularly those which the author has himself studied as a university research worker. After a simple account of the eye, its relation to the brain and to the act of seeing, the author describes his own work on the problems of eye-testing, eye-strain and binocular defects; and in so doing gives a first-hand impression of what life in a modern research laboratory is like in its successes, failures, planned experiments and surprise improvisations. In addition he includes a long chapter on his unpleasant experiences after a dose of lysergic acid. Varied, idiosyncratic and comprehensively illustrated with diagrams by Charles Philipson, this book gives an unusual close-up picture of a modern scientist at work. The author belongs to the Physiology Department of the University of Birmingham.
