From Library Journal:

Color vision confusion (CVC), or color blindness, is thought to affect about 10 percent of the world's population (both male and female). It can be a genetic disorder or a side effect of various pollutants, diseases, and medications. Whatever the cause, CVC undermines the visual communication and information networks for those afflicted and affects both the individual and all who come into contact with him or her. Rosenthal, a member of the Optical Society of America and a CVC advocate, and psychologist Phillips raise public awareness about CVC by providing encyclopedic information on this serious visual handicap and by giving numerous personal case studies of the issues faced by the CVC-impaired. Their book is intended for both the general reader and the specialist and is recommended for all health collections.?James Swanton, Harlem Hospital Lib., New York
