Trevor White holds a Master's degree in Visual Science, a Master's degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor's degree in Electronics. Previous publications include articles in professional journals such as Nature and Proceedings of the IEE. As a long time researcher in the Visual Telecommunications division at British Telecom Labs, Trevor White became fascinated with how the eye works and the illusions that arise from its huge limitations. To complement the book, Never Trust Your Eyes, the author offers interactive presentations on the eye, on visual illusions, art and photography to schools, universities, and interested specialist groups. To discuss or reserve a presentation please contact the publisher.
No book has done more to make us question what we see and paradoxically to make us feel more comfortable with the astounding limitations of our visual perception. The book provides simple and beautiful examples of how the eye and the brain work together to construct a stable model of the physical world. The book is absorbing, informative and educational, and most importantly, it is also very entertaining. Definitely worth reading!
