Description: "As a young woman, Laura Sewall found herself becoming increasingly nearsighted, until lessons in vision improvement enabled her to see with extraordinary clarity. This profound breakthrough prompted her to devote her professional life to the exploration of human visual potential.

Beginning with a study of the visual behavior of baboons in East Africa and endless hours researching the neurophysiology of vision, Sewall obtained her doctorate in visual science and applied it to the psychology of environmental concerns. She became a leading pioneer in the new field of ecopsychology, which focuses on the connection between the natural environment and the mind and emotions."--BOOK JACKET.

"A provocative blend of science, psychology, philosophy, and personal experience, Sight and Sensibility shows how we may be able to restructure our brain's visual neural networks in order to see more of the world. Sewall's urgent message is that as our perception deepens, not only are we blessed with an enhanced visual experience, but if we see the world differently, we will treat it differently."--BOOK JACKET.
