The cornerstone text on visual science - now more clinically relevant than everSELF-ASSESSMENT QUIZ IN EACH CHAPTERA Doody's Core Title for 2022! Through five acclaimed editions, this trusted text has bridged the gap between basic visual science and clinical application. The Fifth Edition continues this mission with a more streamlined presentation and an even greater focus on clinical relevancy. Wide in scope, the book covers every clinically important aspect of visual science, including color vision and its defects, spatial vision, temporal aspects of vision, psychophysics, physiology, and development and maturation of the visual system.This edition has been dramatically enhanced, with all figures in beautiful full color and the addition of new clinical images (including color vision tests and fundus photographs). All chapters have been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest advances in basic science, while increasing their clinical orientation. You will also find self-assessment questions at the end of every chapter and current references from leaders in each subfield.The information presented in Visual Perception, Fifth Edition cannot be found in any other single volume. The book's unique linkage of basic science and clinical application makes it of value to optometric and ophthalmologic students, faculty, and researchers. If you require a comprehensive text on visual science that imparts fundamental concepts in an engaging and interesting style, your search ends here.

What is the American Way? What is the American Dream? What is your vision of America at its best? How close is your vision to reality?Like any country, the United States of America is far from perfect. More than 200 years ago, however, a handful of men developed and shared a set of ideas that has served as the bedrock for this country and this society. Those ideas, like all ideas, created an outcome. And that outcome has saved more lives from tyranny, poverty, fascism, and socialism than any other country in the history of civilization.Imagine if you could develop and share a thought with such a remarkable and enduring outcome? You can. You have the power to begin doing so today.Using a professionally developed process called High Consciousness Thinking, literally anybody can hone their ability to think and create an emotion, which drives behavior which leads to an outcome.If you, like so many people, wish to unlock the full potential of the American experiment, the keys are here for you in these pages. Begin a selfless journey that will help you inspire other Americans to create a movement that empowers citizens to succeed based on their own set of skills while dismantling the false premise that we should look to the government for solutions.You are the solution.

Fiction. Short Stories. "Schwartz appreciates that a compelling plotline can contribute intensity to the brief life of a short story. All of these 11 stories arrest the reader from their opening paragraphs; their fully engaging plots include a western farmer allowing a hippie-dippie couple the temporary use of a cabin on his property but finding peace and love quickly turning to violence; a young person's crush on a cousin turns very provocative when the cousin, years later, shows up for a reunion no longer her original gender; a high-school teacher holds a gun to his head in front of his class with the full intention of using it; and a married man faces, under stressful circumstances, his own competitiveness with both his former girlfriend and his wife. But Schwartz is careful to use his strong, even page-turning plots to service the short story form's primary responsibility: to capture a character's most salient traits. His easy, unpretentious writing style not only adds to the stories' accessibility and resonance but also supplies the solid amalgam between plot and character, resulting in a collection to be held up as evidence that the short story not only endures but also flourishes."--Brad Hooper

The acclaimed introductory text to geometrical and visual optics --- now in full colorGeometrical and Visual Optics, Third Edition is a rigorous, yet approachable text that expertly combines basic optics with clinical application in a way that brings key optometry topics to life. It is meant to be a concise and user-friendly resource for clinicians as they begin their study of optics, and as they eventually prepare for licensing examinations. The book emphasizes optical concepts and problem-solving skills that underlie contemporary clinical eye care, and because of its clinical utility, a vergence approach is stressed.FEATURES:.3 complete practice exams, totaling 122 questions .200+ end-of-chapter self-assessment problems with detailed worked-out solutions.Full-color figures and clinical highlights.Learning Objectives appear at the beginning of each chapter.Color highlighted summaries, sample problems, and tables.Summary and list of formulas appear at the end of each chapter.NEW CHAPTER on lens thickness; and prism coverage has been expanded to include vertical imbalance.In-depth coverage of geometrical and visual optics spans the full spectrum of topics, from refraction at spherical surfaces, to thin and thick lenses, to depth of field, ametropia, magnification, retinal image size, and reflection.Primary emphasis is on core concepts, with a minimum of formulas and superfluous mathematics
