Ed Yong on how animal senses reveal the world around us
The TED Interview
The Importance of Smell to Other Animals
I was always obsessed with natures as a child, but i never had animals of my own. So i never lived with another non human animal until last january. And it's been wonderful the ways in which that experience and the experience of writing this book have intertwined with each other. I think watching him go on these little old factory adventures every time we go for a walk, watching him so intently and happily sniffing his way around our neighbourhood really hammered home a lot of what i was writing about in the book. Think about how thinking about their senses transforms this mundane world into something fresh and magical and newly extraordinary.
