    “Your dog is living in a parallel universe. So is that bird. So are you. From magnetic fields to ultraviolet light to electric currents, Ed Young exposes the sensory worlds that are invisible to us, but everything to the creatures around us. “Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal can only tap into a small fraction of realities fullness. Each is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny silver of an immense world.””

    “Just an incredible exploration of the nature of our senses and how they interact with the world. What would it be like to feel electrical pulses?”
