An Immense World

An Immense World won the 2023 Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize, was a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, and won the 2023 Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. This is our world, as you've never seen it before. 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 only a tiny sliver of this world. In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, welcoming us into previously unfathomable dimensions - the world as it is truly perceived by other animals. Showing us that in order to understand our world we don't need to travel to other places; we need to see through other eyes.
