From Rowena (Team member); Listen to, RNZ Afternoons Interview with Ed Yong about his book, An Immense World, a great interview.
The book is very interesting - it made me appreciate all the different ways animals use their senses and the need look at the natural world with more curiosity. A book, you can read, put down & pickup - time and time again.
The stunning Sunday Times bestseller that will transform the way you perceive the world - from Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of I Contain Multitudes.
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.
In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, welcoming us into previously unfathomable dimensions - the world as it is truly perceived by other animals. Showing us that in order to understand our world we don't need to travel to other places; we need to see through other eyes.
