Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In the new edition of his best-selling text, Goldstein offers balanced coverage of all the senses, a strong visual presentation, and the attention to accuracy and scholarship that has made this book a highly respected classroom learning tool. Users have found that Goldstein's narrative style that "tells the story" of sensation and perception has been effective in helping students understand and master the material. And, unlike many texts for the course, Goldstein integrates coverage of the various senses (when appropriate), showing how they work together, rather than presenting them in isolation.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 622-652) and indexes.
