I don't know how to put into words the awe I felt while reading this book-for the incredible sensory diversity of our planet, and for Ed Yong's talents. -Mary Roach, author of Stiff There is almost no writer I admire as much as I do Ed Yong. He's an extraordinary reporter and a writer of such grace that his work seems effortless. An Immense World is a journal of discovery and animal magic, and a sensory exploration that is a joy to read. -Susan Orlean, author of On Animals What would we do without Ed Yong? This book feels like a tremendous burst of oxygen, animating everything around us with life and color and texture and wonder at precisely the moment we all need it. -Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Equal parts science and poetry: Yong guides us through the magic of the animal kingdom in ways that have unlocked something inside of me I didn't know was there. I'll never look at our planet the same way again. -Clint Smith, author of How the Word Is Passed Though we can't sense magnetic or electrical fields and have noses too blunt to see the world, this book gives us the next best thing: appreciation for those who can. Ed Yong expands our world as he lets us see into others'. -Alexandra Horowitz, author of Inside of a Dog A cornucopia of wonders-a fascinating reminder that most of what happens among life forms on Earth is beyond our ken. -David Quammen, author of The Tangled Tree Utterly surprising, like stepping into Alice in Wonderland . . . the perfect mixture of revelation, curiosity, science, beautiful prose, and buckets full of wonders. -Andrea Wulf, author of The Invention of Nature A whirlwind tour of animal perceptual abilities, this magnificent book challenges your imagination and fills you with wonder about the living world. -Frans de Waal, author of Different A powerful and immersive deep dive into the perceptual lives of other organisms-and a persuasive case for more empathy and understanding of the complexity, sophistication, and sheer riotous joy of the nonhuman world-it's an instant classic. -Jeff VanderMeer, author of Authority An Immense World is an expansive, constantly revelatory exploration of the biosphere's sensorium, from the rigidly pheromonic behavioral programming of ants to the constant subsonic conversations of elephants. Ed Yong is my favorite contemporary science writer. -William Gibson, author of Agency
