'Spellbinding . . .More than any other book, [Sentient] has made me
think differently about the world this year.' - Financial Times
Best Books of the Year'Lyrical and lucid . . .Higgins makes popular
science accessible.' - ObserverThe peacock mantis shrimp can throw
a punch that can fracture aquarium walls. The great grey owl can
hear many decibels lower than the human ear. The star-nosed mole's
miraculous nose allows it to catch worms in as little as 120
milliseconds.In Sentient, Jackie Higgins assembles a menagerie of
zoological creatures - from land, air, sea and all four corners of
the globe - to understand what it means to be human. In it, we also
meet the four-eyed spookfish and its dark vision, the vampire bat
and its remarkable powers of touch, as well as the common octopus,
the Goliath catfish and the duck-billed platypus. Each zoological
marvel illustrates the surprising sensory powers that lie within us
and enables us to engage with the world in ways we never knew
possible.
