From Nancy Lawson, author of The Humane Gardener, an insightful and
personal exploration of the vibrant web of nature outside our back
door-where animals and plants perceive and communicate using
marvelous sensory capabilities we are only beginning to understand.
In The World Through Their Eyes, master naturalist Nancy Lawson
takes readers on a fascinating visual tour of the secret life of
animals and plants. Organized into chapters investigating each of
their five senses, Lawson's exploration reveals a remarkable world
of interdependent creatures with amazing capabilities. You'll learn
of ultrasound clicks humans can't hear, and ultraviolet colors
humans can't see. You'll cross paths with foraging American
bumblebees drawn to the scent of wild bergamot, urban sparrows who
adapt their mating song in response to human clamor, beech trees
whose proximity provides protection and sugary sustenance to
salamanders and nearby flora, and a chipmunk behaving like the
world's smallest pole vaulter to nab juicy red berries hanging from
the lowest parts of a coral honeysuckle vine. Synthesizing
cutting-edge scientific research, original interviews with animal
and plant researchers, and poetic observations made in her own
garden, Lawson shows us how to appreciate the natural environment
from the sensory perspective of our wild neighbors right outside
our door and beyond, and how to respect and nurture the full range
of their vibrancy and diversity. door-where animals and plants
perceive and communicate using marvelous sensory capabilities we
are only beginning to understand.
