1 peopleAn Immense World is a science book that follows the radically different sensory worlds of animals, tracing hidden layers of smell, sound, touch, and electric and magnetic perception. It challenges human-centered assumptions by showing how other species experience reality in ways we can only partly imagine.
Using the eyes of other animals, the book opens a door to sensory layers most of us never notice.
