520    "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 but a tiny sliver of an immense
       world. This book welcomes us into a previously 
       unfathomable dimension-the world as it is truly perceived 
       by other animals. We encounter beetles that are drawn to 
       fires (and fireworks), songbirds that can see the Earth's 
       magnetic fields, and brainless jellyfish that nonetheless 
       have complex eyes. 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, and
       that even fingernail-sized spiders can make out the 
       craters of the moon. We meet people with unusual senses, 
       from women who can make out extra colors to blind 
       individuals who can navigate using reflected echoes like 
       bats. Yong tells the stories of pivotal discoveries in the
       field, and also looks ahead at the many mysteries which 
       lie unsolved"--|cProvided by publisher
