Recenzii

I found the volume to be consistently stimulating and was excited by a new visual anthropology dwelling not in the image but in how people actually look and see - and important and timely volume that does much to further our understanding of vision. It will be of great interest to researchers and students concerned with studies of sensory perceptions.A" * Social Anthropology
