SUMMARY:An Immense World by Ed Yong
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 20% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nHello\, Litbugs!\n\nFor August we're reading "An Immense 
 World" by Ed Yong.\nWe are meeting in person at David Lam Park\, weather p
 ermitting. The day before: we will finalize if we're meeting at a park or 
 a cafe (you will be messaged via Meetup Messages).\n\nOn the day of the ev
 ent\, the specific spot will be selected and messaged to you (via Meetup m
 essages) by 12PM. Please bring a camping chair\, blankets\, or anything el
 se you might need. Feel free to bring your pets :)\n\nHere's the descripti
 on of the book from Good Reads:\n\nA grand tour through the hidden realms 
 of animal senses that will transform the way you perceive the world --from
  the Pulitzer Prize-winning\, New York Times bestselling author of I Conta
 in Multitudes.\n\nThe Earth teems with sights and textures\, sounds and vi
 brations\, smells and tastes\, electric and magnetic fields. But every ani
 mal is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble\, perceiving but a ti
 ny sliver of an immense world. This book welcomes us into a previously unf
 athomable dimension--the world as it is truly perceived by other animals.\
 n\nWe encounter beetles that are drawn to fires\, turtles that can track t
 he Earth's magnetic fields\, fish that fill rivers with electrical message
 s\, and humans that wield sonar like bats. We discover that a crocodile's 
 scaly face is as sensitive as a lover's fingertips\, that the eyes of a gi
 ant squid evolved to see sparkling whales\, that plants thrum with the ina
 udible songs of courting bugs\, and that even simple scallops have complex
  vision. We learn what bees see in flowers\, what songbirds hear in their 
 tunes\, and what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal
  discoveries in the field\, while looking ahead at the many mysteries whic
 h lie unsolved.\n\nIn An Immense World\, author and acclaimed science jour
 nalist Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses\, allowing 
 us to perceive the skeins of scent\, waves of electromagnetism\, and pulse
 s of pressure that surround us. Because in order to understand our world w
 e don't need to travel to other places\; we need to see through other eyes
