"To sum up, the insights throughout the compendium are impressive and wide-ranging. ... All in all, a timely and highlycompetent work." - Stuart Hannabuss, Reference Reviews

"This book is a wonderful compendium of illusions presented by those who enjoy them and seek to understand them." - Mary A. Peterson, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Professor and Director, Cognitive Science Program, University of Arizona

"By weaving together so many different kinds of illusions, and recruiting authors with different scientific backgrounds and sympathies, The Oxford Compendium of Visual Illusions brings a new visual and explanatory coherence to these fascinating and vital phenomena." - Sarah Allred, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Rutgers-Camden

"This compendium is simply and straightforwardly the ultimate visual illusion encyclopaedia. Its amazing number of contributions span over theoretical and empirical data, and classical to recently created illusions, from ecological (slant perception) to sophisticated. It encompasses all fields related to illusion. All the international masters and specialists of visual illusions contributed to this unique collection. One of its prominent features is its honest openness and multifaceted look at illusions, providing multiple levels and multiple accounts for visual illusions, which I would consider stimulating and enriching for both specialists and students." - Yves Rossetti, MD, PhD, Professor of Physiology, Lyon Neuroscience Research Center and Lyon School of Medicine

"This volume shows not just that vision is the most advanced of any field of research in its coordination of phenomenal, mathematical and biological aspects but also that the study of illusions is a key part of that process. It is therefore a major contribution to one of the most intellectually fascinating and important areas of enquiry. -" - Perception
