This book will change how you think about the world. An Immense World is a deep dive into the way animals experience reality through senses we can barely imagine—magnetic fields, ultraviolet light, vibrations, echolocation. Ed Yong writes with clarity, curiosity, and so much wonder that you start to see the planet as way more alive and layered than you ever knew.

If you're into science writing that makes you feel small in the best way—like you're just one part of a dazzling, mysterious web of life—this is a must-read. It’s fascinating, perspective-shifting, and honestly kind of humbling.
