Description
Discover the fascinating world of animal senses and how they reveal secrets about our own perception of the world. Jackie Higgins explores the extraordinary abilities of creatures from around the globe, from the harlequin mantis shrimp's incredible colour vision to the star-nosed mole's remarkable nose.
Through the eyes, ears, skins, tongues and noses of these remarkable animals, Higgins reveals the untold scientific revolution stirring in the field of human perception. You'll learn about the vampire bat's remarkable powers of touch, the bloodhound's hundreds of millions of scent receptors, and the bar-tailed godwit's dark vision.
This captivating book shows how the sensory powers that lie dormant within us can be reawakened, enabling us to engage with the world in ways we never knew possible. A thought-provoking exploration of the natural world and our place within it.
