We Are All Animals (Paperback): Christopher Lloyd, Ben Hoare We Are All Animals (Paperback)

R332 Discovery Miles 3 320 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

We Are All Animals offers children an awe-inspiring new way to understand the animal kingdom. This unique book reveals astonishing similarities in the anatomy – and many more characteristics - of humans and other animals, celebrating our entire furry, scaly, slimy, slippery, extended family. Did you know that most animal bodies, including ours, are shaped like tubes? Or that humans share 75% of their genes with chickens? That rats are ticklish, and dolphins give each other names? Children will be delighted to discover how similar they are to bats, bees, dogs, frogs, jellyfish, giraffes, and many more. By encouraging readers to make connections between distant corners of the animal kingdom, this book celebrates the extraordinary ways in which all of Earth’s creatures are connected. Created in partnership with the Humanimal Trust, a charity advocating collaboration between physicians and veterinarians, this book is underpinned by cutting-edge medical science. The charity’s founder - Professor Noel Fitzpatrick - is an internationally renowned veterinarian, who also stars in his own TV series, The Supervet (a nickname he has earned through the groundbreaking veterinary procedures he performs). He has written a foreword to the book, and his extensive medical expertise runs throughout every page.

R345 R308 Discovery Miles 3 080 Save R37 (11%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

The Sunday Times Bestseller on how animal senses reveal the world around us.

Award-winning science writer Ed Yong takes readers on an astonishing journey through the hidden senses of Earth’s creatures. From the magnetic compass of migratory birds to the ultraviolet vision of bees and the echolocation of bats, Yong welcomes us into previously unfathomable dimensions - the world as it is truly perceived by other animals.

Drawing on the latest research in neurobiology and animal behaviour, An Immense World explores how each species lives within its unique environment, uncovering the sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields that form its sensory bubble of experience.

This is science writing at its most transporting: showing us that in order to understand our world we don't need to travel to other places; we need to see through other eyes.
