“A Thrilling Tour of Non-Human Perception” – The New York Times
Ed Yong is a science writer who won several honors for his reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting and the George Polk Award for science reporting.
Funny and suffused with the joy of discovery, his book An Immense World takes readers on a tour of the radically different ways that animals perceive the world, reminding us of what Marcel Proust once called “the only true voyage . . . not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes.” From a crocodile’s scaly face to the eyes of a giant squid, An Immense World takes readers through the abundance of sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, sights and textures, and electric and magnetic fields Earth literally teems with.

Ed and his partner, David, live just outside Traverse City.
