Publisher's Synopsis

Sight is regarded as vital to our day-to-day survival. Looking at mythology, history & science, from Actaeon's glimpse of the bathing Diana in the Roman myth to 18th century France, through to advances in microscopy & photography, this book surveys the ways in which, through the sense of sight, the perceiver & the perceived are joined.
