Seeing and visualizing :it's not what you think
"In Seeing and Visualizing Zenon Pylyshyn argues that seeing is different from thinking and that to see is not, as it may seem intuitively, to create an inner replica of the world.

Volume II: Empirical Microeconomics focuses on empirical work. Topics covered include the relations…
