Here are the common artifacts of life, often misunderstood and largely ignored, brought into striking focus. With the discerning eye of a painter and the zeal of a detective, Elkins explores complicated things like mandalas, the periodic table, or a hieroglyph, remaking the world into a treasure box of observations--eccentric, ordinary, marvelous.VisionAttentionVisual discriminationElectronic books.Vision.Attention.Visual discrimination.152.14153.7612.8/4Elkins James1955-847219MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453641703321How to use your eyes1897074UNINA
