From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Inside of a Dog and The Year of the Puppy, this 'elegant and entertaining' (The Boston Globe) explanation of how humans perceive their environments 'does more than open our eyes...opens our hearts and minds, too, gently awakening us to a world--in fact, many worlds--we've been missing' (USA TODAY).
