Haber, R.N. [ Edit.] — Contemporary theory and research in visual perception.

London/Sydney/Toronto, Holt, Rinehart and Winston. 1970. Soft cover. Very Good. l 814 pp. Haber's interest in the area leans towards the cognitive rather than the sensory issues, and the selections reflect this slant. The criteria he used to choose the papers are well summarized by the title. There is no doubt that the papers are contemporary: 76 of the 80 articles originally appeared in the 1960's. A good balance exists between theory and research: 29 papers are primarily theoretical or review articles, while 51 present research findings. This leaves the final term of the title, visual perception. Haber has interpreted this expression broadly, and herein lies the great attraction of the collection. Review by G.B. Rollman.
