We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires, turtles that can track the Earth's magnetic fields, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages, and even humans who 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 giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, that plants thrum with the inaudible 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 that remain unsolved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFunny, rigorous, and suffused with the joy of discovery, \u003ci\u003eAn Immense World\u003c\/i\u003e takes us on what Marcel Proust called \"the only true voyage . . . not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWINNER OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL - \u003cb\u003eFINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE - FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD - \u003c\/b\u003eLONGLISTED FOR THE PEN\/E.O.
