Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'An Introduction to the Study of Colour Vision' is a comprehensive scientific exploration of the mechanisms and theories underlying human color perception. Written by the distinguished ophthalmologist Sir John Herbert Parsons, this foundational work delves into the physiological, physical, and psychological aspects of how the human eye interprets the visible spectrum. The text is organized into systematic sections that cover the physics of light, the anatomy and physiology of the retina, and the intricate neurological processes involved in visual sensation.Parsons provides a detailed analysis of major color vision theories, including the Young-Helmholtz and Hering hypotheses, while also examining clinical phenomena such as color blindness and peripheral vision. Beyond human biology, the work explores comparative vision in the animal kingdom, offering a broad perspective on the evolution of light sensitivity. This volume serves as an essential resource for those interested in ophthalmology, optics, and experimental psychology. By synthesizing rigorous experimental data with clinical observation, Parsons creates a definitive guide to understanding one of the most complex and fascinating systems of human sensation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
