"Polarized Light in Animal Vision" is a comprehensive academic book that explores the polarization of light in the animal kingdom. It provides a detailed analysis of typical polarization effects in nature and examines the physiological mechanisms as well as the biological functions of polarization sensitivity in animals. The book is aimed at biologists, physicists, and meteorologists, particularly professionals involved in atmospheric optics and animal perception. It seeks to enhance understanding of the information hidden in the polarization patterns of the optical environment, which are not directly accessible to the human eye. The first half of the book introduces the fundamentals of image polarimetry, while the second half addresses typical polarization effects under various natural lighting conditions, such as during sunrise and sunset, clear and cloudy skies, as well as moonlight and total solar eclipses. The comprehensive analysis and the connection between physical and biological aspects make this work a valuable resource for professionals in these fields.
