Zusammenfassung:	This book, first published in 1979, is about how we see: the environment around us (its surface, their layout, and their colors and textures); where we are in the environment; whether or not we are moving and, if we are, where we are going; what things are good for; how to do things (to thread a needle or drive an automobile); or why things look as they do. The basic assumption is that vision depends on the eye which is connected to the brain. The author suggests that natural vision depends on the eyes in the head on a body supported by the ground, the brain being only the central organ of a complete visual system. When no contraints are put on the visual system, people look around, walk up something interesting and move around it so as to see it from all sides, and go from one vista to another. That is natural vision - and what this book is about.
