Critics Review
Lewis and Leyser show how subliminal priming influences the ways humans encounter the world, and provide commonsense strategies to avoid falling prey to such illusions and oversights. It’s a riveting and relevant work of pop psychology. * Publishers Weekly: *
“The accessible text offers numerous incidents that will resonate with readers, whether considering research studies, evolving film and photography techniques, or sleight-of-hand maneuvers. An especially engaging feature is the inclusion of multiple QR codes that allow access to optical depictions illuminating the concepts… Informative and eye-opening.” * Booklist *
