Excellent Encyclopedia of Your Senses

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

A hands-on adventure into how we experience the world

Everyone knows you have just five senses, right? Think again!

From sensing temperature to keeping your balance - even knowing when you need to pee - your body is constantly sending messages to your brain about the world inside and around you. Full of quirky and colourful illustrations and cutting-edge science, this entertaining book reveals how these messages are created, how your brain processes them, and how you can explore them through fun experiments and challenges, either on your own or with friends.

What is a \"sense\"? What happens when you mix them together - or pull them apart? What amazing things can animals sense that we can't? Discover how sound can change how things taste, what part your culture plays in the way you literally see the world, and how in turn your personality, thoughts, and relationships are shaped by the way you perceive your surroundings.

This book uncovers the weird and wonderful world of your senses - as you've never experienced them before.
