This book, first published in 1979, is about how we see: the
environment around us (its surfaces, their layout, and their colors
and textures); where we are in the environment; whether or not we
are moving and, if we are, where we are going; what things are good
for; how to do things (to thread a needle or drive an automobile);
or why things look as they do. The basic assumption is that vision
depends on the eye which is connected to the brain. The author
suggests that natural vision depends on the eyes in the head on a
body supported by the ground, the brain being only the central
organ of a complete visual system. When no constraints are put on
the visual system, people look around, walk up to something
interesting and move around it so as to see it from all sides, and
go from one vista to another. That is natural vision -- and what
this book is about.
