About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Listen now to get the main key ideas from Ed Yong's An Immense World.
Humans are so used to relying on our own view of the world that it’s hard for us to imagine what it would look like from an animal’s perception. In An Immense World (2022), science journalist Ed Yong encourages readers to expand their perception and become aware of the complex and subtle phenomena that shape the animal world. He explores chemical signals, echolocation, biological sonars, and other fine-tuned means of communicating and hunting hidden in animal realms. The study of animal senses can help us both understand ourselves and create new technologies.
