Hoffman explains that far from being a passive recorder of a preexisting world, the eye actively constructs every aspect of our visual experience. In an informal style replete with illustrations, Hoffman presents the compelling scientific evidence for visions constructive powers, unveiling a grammar of vision - a set of rules that govern our perception of line, color, form, depth, and motion.
