How the perception of shadows, studied by vision scientists and visual artists, reveals the inner workings of the visual system. In The Visual World of Shadows, Roberto Casati and Patrick Cavanagh examine how the perception of shadows, as studied by vision scientists and visual artists, reveals the inner workings of the visual system. Shadows are at once a massive problem for vision—which must distinguish them from objects or material features of objects—and a resource, signaling the presence, location, shape, and size of objects. Casati and Cavanagh draw up an inventory of information retrievable from shadows, showing their amazing variety. They present an overview of the visual system, distinguishing between measurement and inference. They discuss the shadow mission, the work done by the visual brain to parse, and perhaps discard, the information from shadows; shadow ownership, the association of a shadow with the object that casts it; shadow labeling, the visual system's ability to tell shadows from nonshadows; and the shadow concept, our knowledge about shadows as a category. Casati and Cavanagh then apply the theoretical apparatus they have developed for shadows to other phenomena: illumination, reflection, and transparency. Finally, they examine the art of the shadow, paying tribute to artists' exploration of shadow, analyzing a series of artworks (reproduced in color) from a rich and fascinating art historical corpus.

Trillions of years have passed since the Mooroo race burst forth from the pairing of two alien creatures. For eons, the Mooroos have reigned over many territories, fulfilling their unquenchable desire to preserve the species. The instinct to flourish burns in Soomooroo and Moochoomoo, longtime companions who live on Voormoo, their celestial home. When Soomooroo wins the deed to a large galaxy in an ancient card game, the pair launches a scouting expedition to explore every expanse of the boundless universe. In the process, they encounter a range of alien species, including the Swoomoows, the Nogonogs, and the Yellow Dog of Heuweltjies Plateau, some of which are peaceful, others unwelcoming. They also seek out Goddoo, the creator of all, to stand in his presence and thank him for bringing forth light across the great void of darkness. Most importantly, Soomooroo ensures the Mooroovian race will live on through his son, the first Mooroovian to inherit eternal life and race memory, ensuring everlasting existence. Science fiction devotees, especially fans of the Klingon language developed for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, will want to start The Mooroos with its extensive glossary of alien terms to appreciate this high-tech, science fiction adventure.

"look/bird's eye poem see-all high!" says the poem "Night Before Morning," which begins with a recitation of odd, quirky musical instruments - "trump, bandora, kithara" - that illustrates Meltzer's ties to Beat poetry, the San Francisco Renaissance, and, especially, jazz. Along with his songwriter wife, Tina, and poet Clark Coolidge, Meltzer does performance pieces that incorporate music, poetry, and song. He also works as an essayist, anthologist, jazz reviewer, college teacher, and erotic novelist. No one would dare call these poems polished, but they have a high-energy, Ginsberg-like quality; deft, idiosyncratic humor (e.g., "a lice-fevered bear"), and moments of pure encapsulated description that take the breath away: "a brace of crow/discuss attack in the white exploding cherry tree." Many poems reflect an Eastern influence, with some short ones showing their cousinhood to haiku: "last night's seed/a trail of light down your thighs." --Library Journal
