His sublime new book, An Immense World, delves into animal senses and what they reveal about Umwelt, “the part of those surroundings that an animal can sense and experience-its perceptual world.” From shrimp vision to sonar to mosquito tastebuds, Yong’s narrative brims with vivid scenes from laboratories and in the field, astute interviews with researchers across a spectrum of disciplines. His first book, I Contain Multitudes, investigated the surprising structures and rhythms of the microbiome-the amalgam of microbes and their environments and the biochemical give-and-take between them. Throughout the dark days of our pandemic, readers have turned to The Atlantic’s Ed Yong for his masterful reporting and trenchant analysis, which have netted a Pulitzer Prize and other accolades. ![]()
