Join us for Footnotes Book Club, a nonfiction memoir book club!
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...Funny, rigorous, and suffused with the joy of discovery, An Immense World takes us on what Marcel Proust called "the only true voyage . . . not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes."
"Yong's scientific curiosity and concern for the natural world are contagious. This is "sense"-ational reading." — Booklist
Footnotes is a nonfiction book discussion. Our next meeting is Thursday, March 23 @ 10am.
