'A future classic of popular science' Mail on Sunday 'A dazzling
account' Financial Times '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
recognise the expressions on a loved one's face, know whether fruit
is ripe by its smell, or even sense a storm approaching through a
sudden drop in air pressure. It's now believed that we may have as
many as fifty-three senses - and we're just beginning to expand our
knowledge of this incredibly extensive palette. Sensational is a
mind-bending look at how our brains shape our experience of the
world, marshalling the latest discoveries in science to explore the
dazzling eyesight of the mantis shrimp, the rich inner lives of
krill, and the baffling link between geomagnetic fields and canine
bowel movements. Blending biology add neuroscience, Ward reveals
that understanding our senses may hold the key to understanding the
origins of human behaviour - from why we kiss to our varied music
tastes.
