` ... need to reiterate that this is fascinating and important work and that the introduction is an especially enjoyable, clear, useful addition to the published experimtental work. ...would recommend this as a worthy addition to your office bookshelf or your library... '-Robert. Kentridge
` We now have the first clear demonstration of double opponent cells in the primate visual system. Given the temperament of those who work in the field of color vision there seems little doubt that heated debates will continue, but for the present at least, the subject seems to be as close to settled as such things can be in science.
