The Senses of Animals and Men is a captivating work of popular science that chronicles the remarkable diversity of sensory perception across the animal kingdom and invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of their own awareness. Husband-and-wife naturalist team Lorus and Margery Milne present a richly detailed survey of how creatures great and small — from pit vipers that detect infrared radiation to the blind cave fish navigating by pressure waves — interpret the world around them, drawing compelling and often humbling comparisons with human sensory capabilities.\n\nThe Milnes write with the rare gift of making rigorous biological science feel intimate and wondrous, translating complex neurological and ecological research into vivid, accessible prose that neither condescends nor oversimplifies. Rooted in mid-twentieth-century natural history, the book argues that perception is not a universal truth but a species-specific reality, shaped by millions of years of evolution. Celebrated for bridging the gap between academic zoology and the curious general reader, it stands as a landmark of science writing — one that leaves you wondering just how much of the world remains invisible, inaudible, and unfelt to you alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203224281307,"sku":"2026200015592-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c32664ac-234e-4a7e-a50b-426d988d8bc4.png?v=1788146157","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015592-secondhand-the-senses-of-animals-and-men","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
