Synopsis
Michael Leyton's arguments about the nature of perception and cognition are fascinating, exciting, and sure to be controversial.
Booknews
In this investigation of the psychological relationship between shape and time, Leyton (psychology, Rutgers U.) argues that shape is used by the mind to recover the past and as such it forms a basis for memory. He elaborates a system of rules by which the conversion to memory takes place and presents a number of detailed case studies--in perception, linguistics, art, and even political subjugation--that support these rules.
