'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 recognize expressions on the faces of our loved ones, know if the fruit is ripe from its smell, or even feel an approaching storm through a sudden drop in atmospheric pressure. It is now believed that we may have up to fifty-three senses - and we are just beginning to expand our knowledge of this incredibly extensive palette.
Sensational is a groundbreaking look at how our brains shape our experience of the world, bringing together the latest scientific discoveries to explore the astonishing vision of the mantis shrimp, the rich inner lives of krill, and the puzzling connection between geomagnetic fields and the bowel movements of dogs. Combining biology and neuroscience, Ward reveals that understanding our senses may hold the key to understanding the origins of human behavior - from why we kiss to our diverse musical preferences.
