An Immense World. By Ed Yong. Random House; 464 pages; $30. Vintage; £17.99
Human senses can only perceive a fraction of the energy and information moving through the world.
Animals manage much more: some birds can sense magnetic fields, bees can see ultraviolet light and bats perceive their surroundings using sound waves.
By examining how such creatures sense their environments, this book lifts the shroud on previously invisible dimensions of the world itself.
