Where We Meet the World

This is an incredible tour of not just the biology and mechanics of human senses, but extends into interesting sensing modalities in many organisms to provide an excellent introductory foray into how living things represent and understand the world. I found the chapter on smell especially interesting, mostly because we understand so little about it and what we do sets it significantly apart from other sensing modalities. As a personal aside, I also got a clue from this book to help finally diagnose a family member with a taste-related disability! Highly recommend
