Reviews

[A] captivating book.
*GrrlScientist, Twelve Of The Best Books About Biology Of 2018, Forbes*

Land has produced an intriguing and accessibly written little book on vision.
*Leon Vlieger, Inquisitive Biologist*

Simply written with a clarity that betrays a profound understanding of vision, this delightful journey from scallops to human perception shows what a great biologist can discover when he has the eyes to see.
*Professor Simon Laughlin, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge*

This little book is a treasure which deserves the attention of anyone who has ever wondered whether other animals see the world like us. Combining lucid scientific explanations with engaging personal anecdotes and salient histories, Eyes to See is the best single book I can recommend to a curious student, and certainly to a seasoned biologist looking for an introduction to how eyes work.
