Nous vivons le temps des images, et c’est accroître ses plaisirs que de s’en donner l’intelligence. En relatant comment il a lui-même appris à ouvrir les yeux, dans les grottes ornées comme dans nos salles de musée, l’auteur, idolâtre heureux et qui ne se repent pas, entend contribuer au bon usage du «stupéfiant image». Mais l’énigme qu’il interroge tout au long de ce recueil de témoignages et de réflexions, c’est celle du temps immobile. Il est des images fixes que l’on peut dater par leur style ou leur technique, mais dont nous demeurons étonnamment contemporains. Les archives visuelles des civilisations éteintes restent vivantes en sorte qu’elles auraient bien tort de se croire mortelles. Les dieux et les idées meurent, non leurs statues ni leurs figures. Et les félins de la grotte Chauvet (- 35 000) n’ont pas d’âge, pas plus que nos plus belles photos de stars. C'est à ce voyage à la fois dans et hors du temps que nous convie cette chronique des idoles d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, où la chronologie, enfin, ne fait pas loi.

This thesis by Quan Van Ho presents a geovisual analytics framework designed to manage, process, and visualize large multivariate data sets. The framework, implemented in Adobe Flash ActionScript and HTML5, emphasizes interactive and web-enabled tools to aid users in making data-driven decisions, even in time-critical situations. It introduces techniques for linking multiple coordinated views, capturing and sharing insights through a snapshot technique, and applies these methods across various domains such as ocean data, network data, spatial interaction data, and flood data. The work aims to reduce development time for customized geovisual analytics applications, making visual analytics accessible to a broader audience.

Originally published in 1952, this book was built upon a reconsideration of the findings presented in Vernon's 1937 title, Visual Perception. The text puts forward the 'belief and contention that the individual constructs his perceived world as far as possible in accordance with the maintenance of the maximum of stability, endurance, and consistency'. An appendix section and indices are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in perspectives on the nature of visual perception.

"Visual agnosia is a rare but fascinating disorder of visual object recognition that can occur after a brain lesion. This book documents the case of John, who worked intensively with the authors for 26 years after acquiring visual agnosia following a stroke. It revisits John's case over twenty years after it was originally described in the book To See But Not To See, in 1987. As in the previous book, the condition is illuminated by John and his wife, Iris, in their own words. A Case Study in Visual Agnosia Revisited discusses John's case in the context of research into the cognitive neuroscience of vision over the past twenty years. It shows how John's problems in recognition can provide important insights into the way that object recognition happens in the brain, with the results obtained in studies of John's perception being compared to emerging work from brain imaging in normal observers. This book presents a much fuller analysis of the variety of perceptual problems that John experienced, detailing not only his impaired object recognition but also his face processing, his processing of different visual features (colour, motion, depth), his ability to act on and negotiate his environment, and his reading and writing. A Case Study in Visual Agnosia Revisited will be a key reference for those concerned with understanding how vision is implemented in the brain. It will be suitable for both undergraduate students taking courses in cognitive psychology and neuropsychology, and also researchers in the cognitive neuroscience of vision. The presentation of John's case, and the human aspects of the disorder, will also be of great interest to a general audience of lay people interested in perception"--
