First appearance of these classic paper in physiological optics in which Wheatstone discovered the stereoscopic vison of the human eye.Stereopsis was first described by Wheatstone in 1838 (in the paper offered). In 1840 he was awarded the Royal Medal of the Royal Society for his explanation of binocular vision, a research which led him to make stereoscopic drawings and construct the stereoscope. He showed that our impression of solidity is gained by the combination in the mind of two separate pictures of an object taken by both of our eyes from different points of view. Thus, in the stereoscope, an arrangement of lenses or mirrors, two photographs of the same object taken from different points are so combined as to make the object stand out with a solid aspect. Sir David Brewster improved the stereoscope by dispensing with the mirrors, and bringing it into its existing form with lenses.""As the inventor of the stereoscope, later developed by Brewster, Wheatstone found himself - to his own surprise - the first since Leonardo da Vinvi to discuss depth perception in terms of the different image received by the eye...""(DSB XIV, p. 290).Garrison & Morton No. 1498.

Couleurs et vision dans l'Antiquité classique.
Publications de l'Université de Rouen, 2002. In-8 br., couverture ill. en couleurs, 196 pp.
La question des couleurs chez les Grecs se présente sous la forme d'un paradoxe tandis que les philosophes antiques - et notamment Platon - affirment le primat de la vue sur les autres sens et le primat des couleurs sur les autres réalités perçues, les Modernes, depuis Gœthe, insistent à l'envi sur la pauvreté et l'imprécision du vocabulaire des couleurs des Grecs. Cependant, si, dans les textes littéraires, les notations chromatiques expriment souvent un état d'âme plus qu'elles ne décrivent une réalité, et si les théoriciens s'efforcent effectivement de définir les couleurs fondamentales et de les ramener à un nombre limité, il en va tout autrement de la littérature technique, celles des médecins, des botanistes, etc., qui cherchent avant tout à transcrire le résultat de leurs observations. Tel a été le point de départ de cette table-ronde, dont les contributions portent tour à tour sur des faits de langue (sens et formation des mots de couleur), sur le rôle des couleurs en médecine (pour le pronostic, mais aussi pour la thérapeutique), et sur le symbolisme des couleurs dans l'interprétation des rêves. Le volume s'achève sur deux études consacrées à la vision, et notamment à la vision panoptique, qui est l'apanage des dieux sauf dans les récits fantaisistes de Lucien. Excellente condition. - Frais de port : -France 5,7 € -U.E. 8 € -Monde (z B : 12 €) (z C : 22 €)
