Summary: "[A] mind-bending collection of 150 of the most significant optical phenomena, loosely grouped into 33 chapters according to particular visual effect ... Concise text describes the history of the optical illusions and their origin. Some are ancient (like a 3D Roman mosaic in a 2nd-century BC home on Malta) and others are modern (like emoticons and street art). There are rarely seen phenomena, works by great illusionists, like M.C. Escher, and well-known illusions like the Impossible Triangle and the Albert Einstein/Marilyn Monroe portrait."--Amazon.com
