It defies logic! At least, that's what puzzle-doers will think as they work their way through this largest-ever compendium of geometric conundrums. When you look at these images--some classic, others never-before published--you'll have a hard time believing what the captions say about their size, shape, or other geometric aspect. For example, two tables appear radically different to the naked eye--but they're actually identical in size and shape. It's all a matter of perspective and perception. Each puzzle is eye-opening.

Supervisions: Geometric Optical Illusions

Paw Prints 2007-09-30

Prepare to be amazed! Inside the covers of this incredible, colorful collection are hundreds of the worldâs most powerful optical illusions. Theyâre beautiful to behold, and stunning in their trickery. Some of the mind-boggling images seem to spring into action, vibrating, pulsing, and spinning like a hula hoop. Other ambiguous illusions feature two subjects in one: the fun is in finding them both in the single pictureincluding a mouse playing hide and seek in a catâs face and a strange desert mirage where palm trees imperceptibly morph into camels. And still more, like The Impossible Terrace,â which couldnât exist off the page: just try to figure out if youâre viewing the space from above or below. Every one is astonishing.
