A fascinating look at the sensory/perceptual systems of nonhuman living things. As humans we tend to anthropomorphize our observations of other animals, yet they have their own Umwelten based on the range of their sensory systems and their ability to integrate information.

Just a really fantastically written pop science book, giving you a look at the sense-worlds of dozens of species in as clear a way as I can imagine it done. Every page had something new for me to say "what the fuck" about. So many things that seem almost unbelievable and make you think in a completely different way about the world right outside your door and all the different signals going through everything you think of as inert. Makes me want to read a ton more on basically everything covered
