Reviews

The first rule of popular science is to reveal the wonder and mystery of the world. For that reason, Sentient, written by photographer and wildlife film-maker Jackie Higgins, is my personal pick of the year
Spellbinding . . . More than any other book, [Sentient] has made me think differently about the world this year.
Higgins makes popular science accessible.
Jackie Higgins’s eye-opening account of the often bizarre or superhuman sensory systems of other animals, from Hades-dwellers to Arctic owls.
