A fascinating intersection of art, science, and perception, Images: Illusion and Reality presents a compelling investigation into how images are created, interpreted, and sometimes deceive the human eye. Published in conjunction with an exhibition by the Australian Academy of Science, this richly illustrated volume chronicles the science of imaging across disciplines — from photography and microscopy to optical illusions and medical imaging. It argues that what we see is not always what exists, drawing on principles of physics, biology, and visual psychology to illustrate how our brains construct reality from light and shadow. Authoritative yet accessible, the work details the remarkable technologies and natural phenomena that shape human visual experience, making it an essential reference for anyone curious about the nature of seeing.
