Reviews
"Absorbing, surprising and at times profound. After reading this, reality will never be quite the same."-- Dave Goulson, author of Silent Earth, " a dazzling account of how we use sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell to navigate the world... The chapters on smell and taste showcase an eye for the extraordinary and a flair for explanation ."-- Anjana Ahuja , Financial Times, "a rollercoaster combination of science, cultural history, romance, philosophy and schoolboy humour."-- Katy Guest , The Guardian (UK)
Synopsis
The thrilling story of how our senses evolved and how they shape our encounters with the world Our senses are what make life worth living. They allow us to appreciate a sip of an ice-cold drink, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover. But only recently have incredible advances in sensory biology given us the ability to understand how and why our senses evolved as they have. In Where We Meet the World , biologist Ashley Ward takes readers on a breathtaking tour of how our senses function. Ward looks at not only the five major senses--vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch--but also a host of other senses, such as balance and interoception, the sense of the body's internal state. Drawing on new research, he explores how our senses interact with and regulate each other, and he uncovers what we can learn from how other animals--and even bacteria--encounter the world. Full of warmth and humor, Where We Meet the World shows how new insights in biology transform our understanding of the relationship between ourselves and our environment, revealing the vibrancy--and strangeness--of both.

- i***1 (106)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWaited two weeks for the item to ship. They said they’d be sending me a “new” replacement. When it never did. Filed an item not received request and requested a refund. Seller then immediately shipped the order. Just received it and it’s very clearly the one that was in the listing. Damage is the same and everything. Not sure why the seller mislead me for two weeks. Will be avoiding for future purchases.
