Optical Allusions - Paperback

by Jay Hosler (Author)

Optical Allusions is the cure for all those clamoring for a painstakingly researched, scientifically accurate, eye-themed comic book adventure Wrinkles the Wonder Brain has lost his bosses' eye and now he has to search all of human imagination for it. Along the way, he confronts biology head on and accidentally learns more about eyes and the evolution of vision than he thought possible. And, as if a compelling story with disembodied talking brains, shape-changing proteins, and giant robot eyes wasn't enough, each tale is followed by a fully illustrated, in-depth exploration of the ideas introduced in the comic story. Following in the tradition of his first two books, "Clan Apis" and "The Sandwalk Adventures", Jay Hosler's "Optical Allusions" uses humor and adventure to weave an unforgettable story about the wonders of seeing.
