I see a man's life is a tedious one. Cymbeline, Act III, Sc. 6. It
is well known that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it!
Along the same lines one might also say that a pleasant way of
learning a subject and at the same time getting to know quite a few
of the workers active in it, is to arrange and to attend an
Advanced Study Institute (ASI) or a workshop lasting about two
weeks. This was and is the wisdom behind the NA TO-ASI programme
and much as people fear that a fortnight may be too long, before it
is over everyone feels that it was too short, especially if the
weather had cooperated. Organising this ASI which resulted in this
volume has been a very good learning experience. I started my
career in research with invertebrates and retained an interest in
them over the years due to my teaching a course and working
sporadically on various aspects of photoreception in Polychaetes,
Crustaceans and Insects. Thus, the thought of organising an ASI on
photoreception and vision in invertebrates had been brewing in my
mind for the past half a dozen years or so. It was felt that it
will be desirable to do a bit of stock taking and discuss possible
new approaches to the study of this matter.
