'Spellbinding . . . More than any other book, [Sentient] has made
me think differently about the world this year.' - Financial Times
Best Books of the Year The peacock mantis shrimp can throw a punch
that can fracture aquarium walls. The great grey owl can hear many
decibels lower than the human ear. The star-nosed mole's miraculous
nose allows it to catch worms in as little as 120 milliseconds. In
Sentient, Jackie Higgins assembles a menagerie of zoological
creatures - from land, air, sea and all four corners of the globe -
to understand what it means to be human. In it, we also meet the
four-eyed spookfish and its dark vision, the vampire bat and its
remarkable powers of touch, as well as the common octopus, the
Goliath catfish and the duck-billed platypus. Each zoological
marvel illustrates the surprising sensory powers that lie within us
and enables us to engage with the world in ways we never knew
possible. 'Lyrical and lucid . . . Higgins makes popular science
accessible.' - Observer
