NEW BOOK OF OPTICAL ILLUSIONS (FIREFLY) (PB)

An optical illusion has two elements: perceived illusion (what you see) and neuronal basis (why you see what you see). This book is a mind-bending collection of 150 of the most significant optical phenomena, loosely grouped into 33 chapters according to the visual effect. It also covers the history of the optical illusions, examples of works by great illusionists, like M.C. Escher, and well-known illusions like the Impossible Triangle and the Albert Einstein/Marilyn Monroe portrait.
