Synopsis

In this entertaining and erudite account Richard Gregory ranges across the mythology and history of mirrors, their use in art and literature and the science of images and light. In exploring mirrors in mind, he shows how our experience of mirrors and optical illusions can help to unravel the puzzles that lie in our own confused perceptions. " A triumph...Holding up a mirror to our minds, Gregory forces us to reconsider the relations between reality and representation" - Roy Porter, New Scientist "A new and original way of using mirrors to give an exciting and provocative view of perception...a book that will bring joy and understanding to many" - The Times Higher Education Supplement
