Bag om Sensational Animal Senses

The Sensational Animal Senses explores the world of senses and perception in both human and non-human animals. Readers will delight in the wonders of our six senses―vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and balance, plus exotic senses that some non-human animals have like heat vision, magnetic senses, and bioelectricity. Have you ever wondered why our world is bright, loud, delicious, and very smelly? How in the world do we see color, feel tickles, and know which way is up? How do we determine what is a good smell from stinky stuff? Or how we distinguish yummy treats from disgusting food? And... what if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? To answer these questions, peek inside Sensational Animal Senses: The Stimulating Science of Sensation and Perception. This book explores and compares human and non-human animal sensory processes and perception. You'll hear how each of our six senses--vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and balance --allows us to feel our way through the world around us and gather information; how scientists research the wonderful, colorful, loud, delicious, and smelly world we inhabit; and how our brains and nervous system process that sensory information and what we learn from those experiences. And you'll see just how important brains are to make sense of your senses! Plus you'll read real world examples of science in action as well as stories about people who work with animals, like park rangers, animal researchers, K9 police officers, veterinarians, and conservationists. Also included are simple experiment to help you discover how senses work to test the limits of sensory systems.
