Introduction
We are used to experiencing the world through our distinctly human senses, often prioritizing the visual plane above all else.
But the more we learn about the amazing sensory capabilities of animals, the more we see that humans have a limited experience of all reality has to offer.
Ed Yong is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer for The Atlantic and the author of I Contain Multitudes.
In An Immense World, Yong draws from research and first-hand experience to showcase the diverse sensory perceptions of animals.
Yong reveals the unique ways that animals experience and traverse the world, from sea turtles that detect magnetic fields to fish that navigate via electricity.
