An Immense World

Ed Yong

Every animal perceives a different slice of reality. Yong shows how radically other creatures' senses reshape what 'the world' even is.

A tour of the 'Umwelt' — the sensory world — of other animals: the electric fields fish detect, the magnetic sense of birds, the ultraviolet vision of bees, the touch-world of a scallop's many eyes.
