The Ultimate Book of Optical Illusions by Al Seckel
Inside the covers of this incredible, colourful collection are hundreds of the world's most powerful optical illusions. Some of the mind-boggling images seem to spring into action, vibrating, pulsing, and spinning like a hula hoop. Other ambiguous illusions feature two subjects in one and images like "The Impossible Terrace," which couldn't exist off the page: just try to figure out if you're viewing the space from above or below. Every one is astonishing.
Al Seckel, of the California Institute of Technology, is a cognitive vision scientist and a leading expert on visual illusions. He has lectured extensively on the subject of illusions at many of the world's most prestigious universities, and designs and builds interactive galleries of illusions for science museums around the world. He is also president of IllusionWorks, which licenses illusion images and products internationally.
