How do our human senses work and help us interact with our
surroundings, and what happens when these senses malfunction or are
impaired? This book provides in-depth information that answers
these questions and more. The Five Senses and Beyond: The
Encyclopedia of Perception supplies students and general readers
with accurate, up-to-date information about the human senses. It
explains the "big five" senses in detail as well as lesser-known
but important senses-perceptions such as balance, kinesthesia,
temperature, and pain. After a helpful introduction, this reference
work provides A-to-Z, cross-referenced entries on hundreds of
topics in the realm of human perception that allow students to find
and digest information quickly and draw connections between related
topics. Through the use of activity sidebars, readers will also be
able to explore the workings of the senses firsthand, lending an
element of interactivity to this accessible encyclopedia. A
convenient end-of-volume glossary provides definitions of
unfamiliar terms. Provides an introductory essay that gives readers
a firm conceptual framework on the subject of human senses before
delving into greater detail Includes further readings sections and
a comprehensive bibliography that serve readers looking to research
the topic more in depth Supports study of the anatomy of sense
organs, particularly the eye and ear, that are frequently studied
in courses in biology; of perception (and its shortcomings) as
addressed as part of psychology classes; and of sensory
impairments, such as blindness and deafness, which are topics
commonly discussed in health classes
