Ed se embarca en intentar llevarnos a entender lo que sabemos hoy sobre cómo sienten las diferentes especies animales el mundo. Lo hace de manera divertida, picando nuestra curiosidad. Un gran libro que nos abre la mente a la pregunta: ¿Si queremos comunicarnos con otras especies, por que no las que están aquí mismo en la tierra?
A very dense read because it’s so packed with startling facts, but definitely worth the investment in time. This is really an extraordinary book.
I’ve loved everything Yong writes, and this is no exception. I read nonfiction out loud to my partner, and he writes in a way that flows very smoothly off the tongue
Will change the way you see the world, and can't help but make you appreciate just how magnificent all the species who share the world with us are.
What a fabulous book. Everyone should read it.

This was utterly fantastic. It's the kind of book that reminds you that there is so much mystery and wonder in the world and so much that we still do not know. The structure was very forgiving, moving from senses that are easier to imagine to sense humans don't have, and in the case of magnetoreception, don't even really understand. The pop culture references were pretty great, too. How can I not love a book that makes a totally pertinant reference to Toph Beifong? I highly recommend the audiobook version. The author really nails it with a dynamic reading that also manages to be calming without being boring.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in the natural world and different perceptions of reality. Just be aware that there is a chapter on pain. It talks about the ethical implications of causing harm to study pain, but by its nature, it discusses …

Highly recommended for anyone interested in the natural world and different perceptions of reality. Just be aware that there is a chapter on pain. It talks about the ethical implications of causing harm to study pain, but by its nature, it discusses some things that an animal lover might find hard to listen to. It's an important chapter, but not integral to the book, if you're not up for it when you read.
