In \;An \;Immense \;World\,&nb sp\;author and journalist Ed \;Yong \;coaxes us beyond the confine s of our own senses\, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent\, waves of electromagnetism\, and pulses of pressure that surround us. We encounte r beetles that are drawn to fires\, turtles that can track the Earth's mag netic fields\, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages\, and even h umans who wield sonar like bats. 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\, that plants thrum with the inaudible son gs of courting bugs\, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. W e learn what bees see in flowers\, what songbirds hear in their tunes\, an d what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal discoveri es in the field\, while looking ahead at the many mysteries that remain un solved.
