Daniel M. Russell Associate Professor of Kinesiology

Book Title: James Jerome Gibson

Author: James Jerome Gibson

Selection Statement:

This book opened up my eyes to a different way of understanding how humans and animals perceive and act within the world. For me, this approach to perception comes closer to capturing and explaining the richness of visual perception in the real world, in contrast with traditional psychological theories. These ideas motivated me to continue my studies in graduate school, and I hope they will encourage your own scholarship.
