Description
This is our world, as you've never seen it before. The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving only a tiny sliver of this world.
Ed Yong invites us to step beyond the confines of our own senses and explore the previously unfathomable dimensions of the natural world. By experiencing the world as it is truly perceived by other animals, we gain a new understanding of our place within it.
Through a fascinating exploration of the senses, Yong shows us that we don't need to travel to other places to understand our world - we just need to see through other eyes.
