Hoboken, NJ Wiley Interscience; 2006.$150.00. The last decade has been a remarkably productive and interesting time for those vision scientists who study the retinal structure of the human eye. In great part this has been made possible by the introduction of a technological advance in their field that has dramatically increased their ability to resolve the fine detail of the retina. This advance is the incorporation of adaptive optics into their imaging systems and by so doing, to almost completely remove the natural optical aberrations of the eye. Those involved in this field are comparatively few in number, and there are a limited number of centers throughout the world equipped to conduct this research. However, there is great interest in their findings throughout the large field of vision scientists and eye care professionals. So, a number of pioneers in the field of adaptive optics for vision science thought to put together a book “to equip engineers, scientists, and clinicians with the basic concepts, engineering tools, and tricks of the trade required to master adaptive optics-related application in vision science and ophthalmology.” Adaptive Optics in Vision Science is the result of this initiative. Does the book fulfill its stated goal? I think it only partially does and I will say why I feel this way. However, this book is valuable in a way the authors themselves perhaps did not perceive, in that is represents a unique historical record of the thoughts and opinions of the pioneers and e
