"This is a serious book covering a complicated but fascinating topic. I recommend it for the serious reader, whether researcher, teacher, or student, who wants to know more about how animals see the world in all of the ways that seeing can be defined. This is a book that would certainly merit a spot on the bookshelf of comparative and evolutionary psychologists as well as behavioral and evolutionary biologists, as there is much in here to appreciate for each of these groups." -- Michael J. Beran, PsycCRITIQUES

"This deep yet fascinating book is not quite what it seems from the title. Rather than "How Animals See the World," it should be "Visual Psychophysics of Birds and Primates." Ninety-eight percent of animals are invertebrates, and 85 percent of habitable space is aquatic; both are little represented here, though the salticid spiders and honeybees make an interesting contrast to vertebrate vision... The final section, on evolution of the vertebrate visual system's structures and basic physiology, belongs first as a foundation. Nevertheless, the book is fascinating reading for the specialist in perception and the cognitive neuroscientist, though not the beginner. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and researchers/faculty." -- J. A. Mather, University of Lethbridge, CHOICE
