"Human and Animal Vision" (Gerald Westheimer)

"Human and Animal Vision" by Gerald Westheimer explores how different species perceive the world through their visual systems. Westheimer highlights the differences in color perception, depth, and motion detection between humans and animals, shaped by their environments and survival needs. For instance, many animals see in ultraviolet light, giving them advantages in finding food or avoiding predators. The book also examines how the structure of eyes varies among species, affecting their vision. Overall, it underscores the complexity and adaptability of visual systems in both humans and animals, reflecting their evolutionary paths.
