A fascinating work of natural science, The Senses of Animals presents a rigorous and accessible examination of how animals perceive the world around them. Written by L. Harrison Matthews, Scientific Director of the Zoological Society of London, and Maxwell Knight, the book details the remarkable sensory apparatus of the animal kingdom — from sight, sound, and smell to more exotic senses such as echolocation and electroreception. Drawing on mid-twentieth century zoological research, the authors illuminate the extraordinary diversity of perceptual worlds that different species inhabit, challenging the assumption that human senses represent any kind of universal standard. Authoritative yet engaging in tone, it remains a compelling introduction to animal biology and behaviour for both the general reader and the naturalist.
