Hirsch comes a fascinating book that introduces these animals and delves into the science behind their senses. Discover how animals use their senses to find food, navigate their environment, and communicate. Featured animals include the star-nosed mole with its highly developed nose, the deadly sidewinder rattlesnake which uses its pits to strike its prey, and the electric eel that uses electroreception to sense its prey.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Sensational Animal Senses explores the world of senses and perception in both human and non-human animals. Readers will delight in the wonders of our six senses―vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and balance, plus exotic senses that some non-human animals have like heat vision, magnetic senses, and bioelectricity. Have you ever wondered how we see color, know which way is up, or why we get goosebumps? How do we determine what is a good smell from stinky stuff? And… what if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or have you ever wondered why dogs hear things we can’t or why some cats seem to see ghosts? How do animals navigate over large distances flying north to south or swimming from one part of the ocean to another without getting lost? To answer these questions and more, peek inside Sensational Animal Senses: Living in a Noisy, Smelly, Tasty, Slimy, Tipsy, Colorful World. You'll learn about each of our six senses—vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and balance—and about some senses we don’t have but animals do like heat vision, magnetoreception, and electroreception. You’ll learn how scientists research the wonderful, colorful, loud, delicious, and smelly world we inhabit and how our brains and nervous system process that sensory information to give rise to our perceptions as we make sense of the world around us. And you'll see just how important brains are to make sense of your senses! Plus you'll read real world examples of science in action as well as stories about people who work with animals, like park rangers, animal researchers, K9 police officers, veterinarians, and conservationists. Also included are simple experiments to help you discover how senses work while testing the limits of your sensory systems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →'A future classic of popular science' Mail on Sunday 'A dazzling account' Financial Times 'Absorbing, surprising and at times profound. After reading this, reality will never be quite the same' Dave Goulson Our senses are how we navigate the world: they help us recognise the expressions on a loved one's face, know whether fruit is ripe by its smell, or even sense a storm approaching through a sudden drop in air pressure. It's now believed that we may have as many as fifty-three senses - and we're just beginning to expand our knowledge of this incredibly extensive palette. Sensational is a mind-bending look at how our brains shape our experience of the world, marshalling the latest discoveries in science to explore the dazzling eyesight of the mantis shrimp, the rich inner lives of krill, and the baffling link between geomagnetic fields and canine bowel movements. Blending biology and neuroscience, Ward reveals that understanding our senses may hold the key to understanding the origins of human behaviour - from why we kiss to our varied music tastes.
