by Vicki Cobb Students won’t believe their eyes (or ears or noses or hands or tongues!) as they try out the over 70 fun and informative explorations of the senses — and how easily they can be deceived — in this book. They’ll hear strange sounds; taste the mysterious; witness bizarre shapes; become brightness mad and color crazed; and investigate a slew of mirages, visual oddities and great misconceptions. Written in a clear and lively style, each illusion is followed by a fascinating “Why You’re Fooled” section that explains the science and history behind the illusion. Index, illustrations. 128 pp., softcover.
