vi, 268pp, various in-text black and white photographs. Pictorial laminated light card covers. 8vo. Light chipping to edges and wear to covers, corners starting to curl. Internally, neat, clean, bright and tight. Adelbert Ames (1880-1955), artist-cum-philosopher, created of some of the most memorable scientific demonstrations of the 20th century - rooms where children tower over parents or where playing cards change size and position instantaneously - designed to illuminate serious perceptual theories and philosophical ideas. Bamberger relates Ames' life and work and explores his desire to unify the studies of biology, memory and perception with his idea of becomingness.
