Summary

"Unlocks the secrets behind dozens of classic illusions. You'll find out why one line can look longer than another, even though both are really the same length. You'll discover how perspective creates a three-dimensional image on a flat surface. You'll learn how artists use optical illusions to make their work more lifelike--or to create strange imaginary worlds, such as those of M.C. Escher. And you'll amaze your friends with simple optical experiments."--Front flap of jacket
