"And now the versatile Dr. May (from the band 'Queen') has topped himself -- he's taken a lifelong interest in stereoscopic photography and produced a picture-and-text book that is at once a historical chronicle and a work of art. "A Village Lost and Found: Scenes in Our Village" comes in a slipcase; in a separate folder, you get a 3-D viewer that May and his collaborator, Elena Vidal, created for this project."

How do stereograms work? Why were they so popular back then? Why would they spark interest now? What does your textbook say about the perception of depth?
