Book Description
Imagine a world in which words have colors and sounds have tastes. In his autobiography, Vladimir Nabokov described this neurological phenomenon, which helped inspire David Hockney's sets for the Metropolitan Opera. Richard Feynman experienced it while formulating the quantum theory that won him a Nobel Prize. Sometimes described as a blending of perceptions, synesthesia occurs when only one of the fives senses is aroused but two respond. Journalist Patricia Lynne Duffy draws from her own struggles and breakthroughs with synesthesia to help us better understand the condition, while describing some of the major theories surrounding it. An illuminating examination of the world of synesthetes, Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens is a must-read for science and health buffs, as well as for artists, writers, and creative thinkers-or anyone generally intrigued by the brain, the senses, and perception.

Book Description
There are no blue cats in Blue Cats, but there are a number of intriguing local cats living their lives in the blue and white milieu of Greek villages on the islands of Santorini, Rhodes and Antiparos, poised high over the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This coherent series of 28 images begins with cats enclosed in small rectilinear spaces - a picket fence, a window ledge, a thicket of chairs, out to the whitewashed curved and sculpted walls and alleys of Greek villages, to the pillars, roofs and chimneys where they become part of the sky, perching at dizzying heights above the azure sea. The photoessay concludes with a sequence of three jumps - over a gate, off a wall, and finally, off the page. Laid out 'gallery style', the book is clean and spare. Shades of blue predominate, each image on its own page surrounded by white as if on the wall of a gallery. The lush colors, the humor, and the sense of huge expanse combine to give an uplifting sense of joy and warmth.
