This two-volume set investigates the complex biological and psychological mechanisms that allow humans and animals to perceive a three-dimensional world. Authors Brian J. Rogers and Ian P. Howard synthesize decades of research to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding space perception. By integrating findings from visual neuroscience, computational vision, and developmental biology, the authors establish a definitive reference for the current state of vision science.

Experts in the field of vision science frequently cite this set as the definitive reference work for researchers and clinicians alike. Reviewers consistently highlight the clarity of the exposition and the impressive breadth of the research, noting that it serves as a foundational text for anyone working in space perception or visual neuroscience.
