Description: "This book is a study of one of the pioneers of neuroscience, Purkinje, who was a polymath of some stature in the Czech/German scientific community in the 19th century. He made a number of influential discoveries, but none of them as interesting as his earliest enquiries into vision. Vision and perception studies are very important in psychology, and this book will be appealing both for its scientific content and its historical information."--BOOK JACKET.
