The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every kind of animal, including humans, is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of our immense world. In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent, waves of electromagnetism, and pulses of pressure that surround us.

There’s very few books I read more than once..

This is simply some of the best science writing by one of the best science writers alive. There’s not enough time to read all the books ever written; though some books are worth reading multiple times at the expense of the others and this one of them.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 257
Prepare to learn everything we still don’t know about our strange and mysterious Universe. Humanity's understanding of the physical world is full of gaps. Not tiny little gaps you can safely ignore - there are huge yawning voids in our basic notions of how the world works. PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson have teamed up to explore everything we don't know about the Universe: The enormous holes in our knowledge of the cosmos. Armed with entertaining and lucid explanations of science, they give us the best answers currently available.

UH Oh... Somebody call the fun police!
Reviewed: 04-14-18
I’d like to report multiple offenses including:
An uncountable count of punning in the first degree.. second degree.. up to 360 degrees at least..
multiple counts of mind expansion, leading to mind explosion, leading to exploded mind explosions.
At least two counts of combining corny jokes and sound effects to induce unexpected chuckles, leading to near embarrassment when I was listening with my headphones on in the elevator. Had I cared.. it could have been embarrassing.
Suspects are charmed and dangerous. Likely on the run with The Weinersmiths, Zach and Kelly.. Both on the fun police’s most wanted list. Not likely to be caught anytime soonish.

In Data and Goliath, Schneier reveals the full extent of surveillance, censorship, and propaganda in society today, examining the risks of cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwar. He shares technological, legal, and social solutions that can help shape a more equal, private, and secure world. This is an audiobook to which everyone with an Internet connection - or bank account or smart device or car, for that matter - needs to listen.
