made available Helmholtz's Treatise on physiological Optics and thought
cvnet
might be interested.
'The Treatise is the foundation work of visual perception and has been
unavailable for many years in English. It is a tribute to the imaginative
initiative of Thoemmes Press to undertake this major enterprise. It will be
greatly appreciated by a wide range of scholars. The choice of Professor
Nick Wade for the new Introduction could not be bettered. His knowledge of
the history of the subject, together with his grasp of present ideas and
discoveries, make this a definitive work to admire and inspire us today.
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz would be delighted.' -
Emeritus Professor Richard L. Gregory, Department of Experimental
Psychology, University of Bristol.
Helmholtz's Treatise on Physiological Optics is widely recognized as the
greatest book ever written on vision. This classic work was translated into
English to mark the centenary of Helmholtz's birth and is one of the most
frequently cited books on the physiology and physics of vision.
The Thoemmes Press edition reprints this translation in its entirety, and
also adds a bibliographic index taken from the second German edition,
containing 8000 references for all topics described by Helmholtz.
