An Immense World is a nonfiction book by Ed Yong, a Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist. The book explores how different animals perceive the world through their diverse and amazing senses. Yong takes the reader on a journey across the land, sea, and air, revealing the hidden realms of smells, tastes, light, color, pain, heat, contact, vibrations, sound, echoes, electric fields, and magnetic fields. He shows how animals use these senses to navigate, communicate, hunt, mate, and survive in their environments. He also tells the stories of the scientists who have uncovered these secrets of animal perception. An immense world is a fascinating and eye-opening account of the richness and diversity of life on Earth.
