Author: Willmer, E. N.
Title: Retinal Structure and Colour Vision: A Restatement and an Hypothesis
Description: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1946. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Good. The list of main contributors to the study and knowledge of colour vision is a short one: Newton, Young, Helmholtz, Schultze, von Kries, and Hering. With advances in other fields new facts and new techniques have now brought opportunities of putting the older doctrines of vision to more accurate tests, though, as Dr. Willmer writes, 'the very diversity of the data and of the methods of approach to the problems hinder the process of synthesis .... The problem becomes more and more difficult to comprehend.' Dr. Willmer's book is meant to be provocative and speculative. It examines the present knowledge of physiology to see how far the phenomena of colour vision can be accounted for by the accepted descriptions. A theory is advanced, which, while it is incapable, as it stands, of accounting for all the phenomena, will, the author hopes, stimulate others to thought and research.
