Where We Meet the World

This book is exactly what it says it is on the cover, it tells you some basic facts about your senses and offers theories about how and why they evolved the way they did blending a variety of scientific disciplines. That being said, it was a fun read with just the right blend of stats, anecdotes, and ideas to keep it engaging all the way through.
A lot of the information presented I was already familiar with, and the language used was pretty accessible (no unnecessary lingo here) so I would say this is a book that would be great for anyone who is discovering an interest in the topic or someone who is just drawn in by the pretty cover.
I particularly enjoyed the section about smell and how we tend to undervalue that particular sense even though is one that our bodies put a lot of resources in, while I'm not entirely surprised that we do when comparing it to our other senses we spend so much time and money on not smelling bad one would think we'd actually be pretty invested in that sense
Disclosure: I received an eARC of this book from Netgalley and Basic Books in exchange for an honest review.
