They allow us to appreciate a sip of an ice-cold drink, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover. But only recently have incredible advances in sensory biology given us the ability to understand how and why our senses evolved as they have. In Where We Meet the World, biologist Ashley Ward takes readers on a breathtaking tour of how our senses function. Ward looks at not only the five major senses--vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch--but also a host of other senses, such as balance and interoception, the sense of the body's internal state. Drawing on new research, he explores how our senses interact with and regulate each other, and he uncovers what we can learn from how other animals--and even bacteria--encounter the world. Full of warmth and humor, Where We Meet the World shows how new insights in biology transform our understanding of the relationship between ourselves and our environment, revealing the vibrancy--and strangeness--of both."-- $c Amazon. 650 0 $a Senses and sensation. 941 $a 11 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013718.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044022.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025134.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240216010204.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20231220010828.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031830.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033805.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230728010045.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230718014327.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010522.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230405010251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36782A38D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
