Download or read book Sensational Animal Senses written by Leanne Boucher Gill and published by American Psychological Association. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensational Animal Senses explores the world of senses and perception in both human and non-human animals. Readers will delight in the wonders of our six senses―vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and balance, plus exotic senses that some non-human animals have like heat vision, magnetic senses, and bioelectricity. Have you ever wondered how we see color, know which way is up, or why we get goosebumps? How do we determine what is a good smell from stinky stuff? And… what if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or have you ever wondered why dogs hear things we can’t or why some cats seem to see ghosts? How do animals navigate over large distances flying north to south or swimming from one part of the ocean to another without getting lost? To answer these questions and more, peek inside Sensational Animal Senses: Living in a Noisy, Smelly, Tasty, Slimy, Tipsy, Colorful World. You'll learn about each of our six senses—vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and balance—and about some senses we don’t have but animals do like heat vision, magnetoreception, and electroreception. You’ll learn how scientists research the wonderful, colorful, loud, delicious, and smelly world we inhabit and how our brains and nervous system process that sensory information to give rise to our perceptions as we make sense of the world around us. And you'll see just how important brains are to make sense of your senses! Plus you'll read real world examples of science in action as well as stories about people who work with animals, like park rangers, animal researchers, K9 police officers, veterinarians, and conservationists. Also included are simple experiments to help you discover how senses work while testing the limits of your sensory systems.

Download or read book Sensational written by Ashley Ward and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A future classic of popular science' Mail on Sunday 'A dazzling account' Financial Times 'Absorbing, surprising and at times profound. After reading this, reality will never be quite the same' Dave Goulson Our senses are how we navigate the world: they help us recognise the expressions on a loved one's face, know whether fruit is ripe by its smell, or even sense a storm approaching through a sudden drop in air pressure. It's now believed that we may have as many as fifty-three senses - and we're just beginning to expand our knowledge of this incredibly extensive palette. Sensational is a mind-bending look at how our brains shape our experience of the world, marshalling the latest discoveries in science to explore the dazzling eyesight of the mantis shrimp, the rich inner lives of krill, and the baffling link between geomagnetic fields and canine bowel movements. Blending biology and neuroscience, Ward reveals that understanding our senses may hold the key to understanding the origins of human behaviour - from why we kiss to our varied music tastes.

Download or read book Candy written by Samira Kawash and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, candy is an uneasy pleasure, eaten with side helpings of guilt and worry. Yet candy accounts for only 6 percent of the added sugar in the American diet. And at least it's honest about what it is—a processed food, eaten for pleasure, with no particular nutritional benefit. So why is candy considered especially harmful, when it's not so different from the other processed foods, from sports bars to fruit snacks, that line supermarket shelves? How did our definitions of food and candy come to be so muddled? And how did candy come to be the scapegoat for our fears about the dangers of food? In Candy: A Century of Panic and Pleasure, Samira Kawash tells the fascinating story of how candy evolved from a luxury good to a cheap, everyday snack. After candy making was revolutionized in the early decades of mass production, it was celebrated as a new kind of food for energy and enjoyment. Riding the rise in snacking and exploiting early nutritional science, candy was the first of the panoply of "junk foods" that would take over the American diet in the decades after the Second World War—convenient and pleasurable, for eating anytime or all the time. And yet, food reformers and moral crusaders have always attacked candy, blaming it for poisoning, alcoholism, sexual depravity and fatal disease. These charges have been disproven and forgotten, but the mistrust of candy they produced has never diminished. The anxiety and confusion that most Americans have about their diets today is a legacy of the tumultuous story of candy, the most loved and loathed of processed foods.Candy is an essential, addictive read for anyone who loves lively cultural history, who cares about food, and who wouldn't mind feeling a bit better about eating a few jelly beans.
