Get ready to have your mind blown by Ed Yong's journey through the animal umwelt (unique sensory world), from bats' echolocation to cow vision, elephants' sense of smell to spiders' ability to sense vibrations on their web. In each section Yong profiles not just examples of animals, but also the work of prominent scientists whose research has been instrumental in better uncovering how animal senses operate, and how it might feel to perceive the world as they do. It's impossible to read this book and not have your own thinking about animals challenged, and be confronted with the wondrous reality of how much they experience that is impossible for us to truly understand.
