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. Readers learn how bats use echolocation to navigate, dogs rely on scent, and eels emit electric signals. 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
