Summary

"Our senses are the basis for our entire lived experience. They equip us to perceive beauty, from great art to the grandeur of the natural world, and to appreciate a sip of an ice-cold drink, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover. Senses are, in short, what make life worth living. Only recently, however, 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 reveals how our five major senses-vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch-were formed and how they so profoundly structure the ways we think and behave. Full of warmth and humor, Ashley tells the thrilling story of our senses and explores the astounding breadth of our interaction with the world"--, Provided by publisher
