Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong has been one of the must-read voices throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us, he turns his attention to lighter but equally fascinating fare: the unique ways in which animals experience their surroundings.

Prepare to be wowed by crocodiles’ sensitive skin, giant squids’ eyes—which are as big as soccer balls—and catfishes’ full-body tastebuds. —Angela Haupt
