An immense world : how animal senses reveal the hidden realms around us / Ed Yong. by Yong, Ed, author.

Requests:  0 Summary:  "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 but a tiny sliver of an immense world.This book welcomes us into a previously unfathomable dimension-the world as it is truly perceived by other animals. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires (and fireworks), songbirds that can see the Earth's magnetic fields, and brainless jellyfish that nonetheless have complex eyes. We discover that a crocodile's scaly face is as sensitive as a lover's fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, and that even fingernail-sized spiders can make out the craters of the moon. We meet people with unusual senses, from women who can make out extra colors to blind individuals who can navigate using reflected echoes like bats. Yong tells the stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, and also looks ahead at the many mysteries which lie unsolved"-- Awards:  Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, 2023   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yo in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yo Checked out 07/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 591.5 Yo Checked out 07/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yong Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yong Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 591.5 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 4 Next
