Humans have more than five senses, and animals can give us a run for our money in most of them. Higgins provides detailed and fascinting accounts of current research on animal senses, and uses those studies to illustrate how human senses, both familiar and unfamiliar, work. An astounding look into the world around us, and how we come to know it.

After single mother Frida leaves her toddler alone for two hours to run some errands, she finds herself caught up in the child welfare system and eventually sent to a dystopian, high-tech reducation center to learn how to be a “good mother.” With motherhood under constant scrutiny, only a few technological advances separate this book from current reality. Fascinating and frightening.
