to deride an exhibition of impressionist paintings that included Monet's Impression, soleil levant; from Le grand Robert de la langue franaise (1985). Boden (1992, p. 249) discusses the psychological basis of impressionist painting: 'Impressionists focused on patches of light, rather than realistic visual interpretations Indeed, computational theories (and computer models) of vision suggest that our visual perceptions are constructed on several successive representation levels What the Impressionists did, in effect, was to remind us of (some of) this, and to suggest what our vision would be like if we could not compute interpretations at the higher levels. The Impressionists were well aware that their artistic style is relevant to visual psychology, which they discussed at some length.' ABOUT THE BOOK: EE Book 16 focuses on achievements and shortcomings of modern marine ecology. It also analyses the crux of all science: human capabilities and limitations of conducting research -of critically perceiving the world in and around us. Louis Legendre further examines the relationships between science and culture and underlines the significance of ethics, especially eco-ethics
