With a style that is both detailed and accessible, this new text
from Johannes Zanker provides students with a solid understanding
of how our sensory and perceptual systems operate, and interact
with a dynamic world. It not only explains the scientific
mechanisms involved, but discusses the costs and benefits of these
mechanisms within an evolutionary, functional framework, to
encourage important questions such as: What is a given sensory
mechanism needed for? What kind of problem can it solve and what
are its limitations? How does the environment determine how senses
operate? How does action affect and facilitate perception? This
unique, interdisciplinary framework allows students to see
perceiving and acting as embedded in particular environments and
directs them to think about the functional nature of these systems.
The overall effect is an especially readable, authoritative text on
Sensation, Perception and Action that really brings this
fascinating topic to life.
