[A] captivating book.
*GrrlScientist, Twelve Of The Best Books About Biology Of 2018,
Forbes*
Land has produced an intriguing and accessibly written little book
on vision.
*Leon Vlieger, Inquisitive Biologist*
Simply written with a clarity that betrays a profound understanding
of vision, this delightful journey from scallops to human
perception shows what a great biologist can discover when he has
the eyes to see.
*Professor Simon Laughlin, Department of Zoology, University of
Cambridge*
This little book is a treasure which deserves the attention of
anyone who has ever wondered whether other animals see the world
like us. Combining lucid scientific explanations with engaging
personal anecdotes and salient histories, Eyes to See is the best
single book I can recommend to a curious student, and certainly to
a seasoned biologist looking for an introduction to how eyes
work.
*Ron Hoy, Merksamer Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior, Cornell
University*
