An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

In An Immense World, Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong takes readers on a breathtaking journey into the sensory lives of animals. From echolocating bats to ultraviolet-seeing birds, Yong explores how other creatures experience reality in ways completely foreign to us. The book is a celebration of diversity and a humbling reminder of how narrow the human perspective can be. With lyrical prose and deep scientific insight, Yong invites us to step outside ourselves and enter the 'Umwelt'—the unique perceptual world—of other species. It's a work of science journalism that is both rigorous and poetic, filled with wonder, empathy, and discovery.
