<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div dir="ltr"><div>Land was a Marco Polo of vision. Despite having worked almost entirely on vision in humans (and monkeys and cats as surogates), the book I suggest to prospective students is Animal Eyes by Land and Nilsson. It enchants organism centric students by its diversity, and mechanism centric students by showing how almost every way we have discovered to bend, reflect, shape, and image light is present in some eye. Hopefully someday it will be supplemented by just as readable a book on the diversity of visual brains.<br></div><div>Qasim</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Qasim Zaidi PhD<br>SUNY Distinguished Professor <br><br>Graduate Center for Vision Research, <br>State University of New York College of Optometry,<br>33 West 42nd St, New York, NY 10036.<br>Office: 212-938-5542; Lab: 212-938-5756; Fax: 212-938-5537<br>E-mail: <a href="mailto:qz@sunyopt.edu" target="_blank">qz@sunyopt.edu</a><br><font size="2"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"><a href="https://www.sunyopt.edu/labs/Zaidi/" target="_blank">https://www.sunyopt.edu/labs/Zaidi/</a></span></font></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 15, 2020 at 1:11 PM Daniel Colaco Osorio <<a href="mailto:d.osorio@sussex.ac.uk">d.osorio@sussex.ac.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Michael Land FRS died on Monday December 14th. Mike will be fondly remembered by many friends and colleagues. We will prepare a longer notice for Visionlist, and arrange a commemoration in due course. Daniel Osorio can pass any messages you might have for
his family.</div>
