The Social Sources of Adjustment to Blindness
by Irving F Lukoff and Martin Whiteman
Blindsight is an unusual condition where the sufferer can respond to visual stimuli, while lacking any conscious feeling of having seen the stimuli. It occurs after a particular form of brain injury. The first edition of 'Blindsight', by one of the pioneers in the field - Lawrence Weiskrantz, reported studies of a patient with this condition. It was an important, much cited publication. In the past twenty years, further work has been done in this area, and this new edition brings the book up to...

The Optic Lobes Of The Bee's Brain In The Light Of Recent Neurological Methods (1897)
by Frederick Courtland Kenyon
Macular Degeneration is a leading cause of failing sight in old people. The disease causes deterioration of the macula, the central area of the retina. While new treatments such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and laser treatment give hope, unfortunately the condition is often not treatable. This book explains what happens when the eye is affected by macular degeneration, the symptoms, aids and appliances. It also suggests organisations to contact and further advice.

Rhodopsins and Photo-transduction (Novartis Foundation Symposia)
by T. Yoshizawa
Rhodopsins are photosensitive proteins that have a retinal (vitamin A aldehyde) as the chromophore. In the past few years, it has been shown that rhodopsin belongs to a large receptor family and that the general mechanism of the signal transduction mediated by this receptor family is widespread. Rhodopsin research has greatly contributed to establishing this universal picture of seven-transmembrane receptor function, and this book brings together the results of interdisciplinary collaborations a...
Eye movements are a vital part of our interaction with the world. They play a pivotal role in perception, cognition, and education. Research in this field is now proceeding at a considerable pace and casting new light on how the eyes move and what information we can derive during the frequent and brief periods of fixation. However, the origins of this work are less well known, even though much of our knowledge was derived from this research with far more primitive equipment. This book is uniqu...
