"Impossible to put down." -- Booklist "Brightly blending scientific expertise with personal experience, Yoon is an outstanding science writer who takes a seemingly dull topic and rivets unsuspecting readers to the page." -- Kirkus Reviews "Starred Review. Yoon's invitation for laypeople to reclaim their umwelt, to 'take one step closer to the living world' and accept as valid the 'wondrous variety in the ordering of life' is optimistic, exhilarating, and revolutionary." -- Publishers Weekly "Evolutionary biologist Carol Kaesuk Yoon makes the case for looking, touching, listening, making our own imperfect sense of the marvels that surround us. Like Darwin, Yoon can find the beauty in a barnacle, and her book-lush with biology, biography, and folklore-is a sensuous delight to read." -- Cathleen Medwick - O Magazine
