Zusammenfassung:Reviews the book, Human Senses in Action by Roland Harper (see record 1973-26081-000). Surveys the evolution of basic concepts and methods relating to the study of the 5 human senses. Major topics include sensation, perception, and quantitative measures of sensitivity and discrimination. The characteristics and practical applications of each sense are described in detail. This book is programmatic, assumes too much and provides too little. It is a syllabus, and even the hardiest instructor should think long on his arduous task of eking the book out into a full-dress text on the human senses.
