In The invented eye Edward Lucie-Smith surveys, from an art critic's point of view, the pioneer period of photography. Against the cultural and artistic background of the 19th century world he discusses the broad implications of early photography and many of its most important practitioners. Taking as it does an art-critical point of view, The invented eye is not a technical book (though there is a brief section explaining the major techniques of early photography). Its emphasis is on understanding the photographs as visual images. More than 150 photographs provide a magnificent complement to the lucid and perceptive text, and make The invented eye a journey through time, to the beginnings of "a new way of seeing the world."

We spend about one-tenth of our waking hours completely blind. Only one percent of what we see is in focus at any one time. We exist in a world we see that's always about half a second behind the real one. In fact you don't need eyes to see - blind volunteers have been taught to see through their chests. Wasps can't see, but map their surroundings instead. If we are stared at, our heartbeat rises and our galvanic skin response alters. How many generations did it take for the first fish to acquire eyes? Answer is 400,000. Why do humans have whites to their eyes when other species don't? Could it be that thinking arose as an evolutionary response to seeing? Without eyes, would minds exist at all? Be prepared to have your eyes opened! Using a spellbinding mix of scientific research, mathematics, philosophy, history, neuroscience, anecdote and language theory, in The Eye, Simon Ings unravels brilliantly the never-ending puzzle of how and why we see in the way that we do. From looking at the work of a huge range of theorists and scientists, to myths and personal experiences, and with the help of a beguiling mix of illustrated visual conundrums and enigmas, Ings triumphs with a compelling dissection of the age-old mysteries of the eye that's both seriously interesting and interestingly fun. He tells the eye's whole story for the very first time, fusing eye and sight into a single story - this is popular science of the highest order.

From monocles to pince-nez and goggle-eyes, a cultural and technological history of glasses in fact and fiction. This book examines those who wore glasses through history, art, and literature, from the green emerald through which Emperor Nero watched gladiator fights to Benjamin Franklin’s homemade bifocals, and from Marilyn Monroe’s cat-eye glasses to the famed four-eyes of Emma Bovary and Harry Potter. Spectacles are objects that seem commonplace, but In the Blink of an Eye shows that because they fundamentally changed people’s lives, glasses were the wellspring of a quiet social, cultural, and economic revolution. Indeed, one can argue that modernity itself began with the paradigm shift that transformed poor eyesight from a severely limiting disease—treated with pomades and tinctures—into a minor impairment that can be remedied with mechanisms constructed from lenses and wire.
