Synopsis
The images presented in this collection have been selected by AL Seckel because they are the most visually exciting and interesting of those in his great collection. Some flash and scintillate, others disappear right before your very eyes! You see motion where there is nonel Size and shape lose their meaning. Even people who are already into this genre and may have seen lots of similar pictures will be stimulated and intrigued by this unique and startling collection.

Customer Reviews

A stunning book
Simply amazing. It's a wonderfully complete, well-researched treasure. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I just wish I had a niece or nephew of the right age to receive a copy as a gift. I hold a PhD in optical physics, and I work in the field of optical design, and I found many stunning effects here that I can show to any colleagues who still retain a sense of wonder, but I'd love to give it to a curious 7-year old and initiate them into the fascinating world of visual perception. My edition seems to be slightly different to the current, but I don't imagine that Al Seckel has seen any need to make major changes. I have 256 pages, mostly given over to the full-page images, with a minimum of well-written text, just enough to whet the appetite for explanation, clear and simple enough for a child, accurate enough for a professional. Highly recommended.
