From the publisher

Looking at Senses Do you know...

you have about 100 "receptors" on the tip of each finger?
the world's best sense of smell belongs to an insect?
food tastes different in space, and no one knows why?
every person has a "blind spot" at the back of each eye?

These are only a few of the amazing facts with which Looking at Senses introduces you to the fascinating and mysterious world of the senses. With David Suzuki as your guide, you will discover how your senses work, and how animal and insect senses compare to your own. And have your ever thought about machines that can "see" and "hear"? Well, you'll read all about that new technology and more in Looking at Senses. Wouldn't you like to...

find out where the most sensitive places on your skin are?
see sound waves your voice makes?
play "eye-spy" with your own periscope?
see if you can send thought messages to a friend?

Filled with exciting projects and activities and extremely well illustrated, Looking at Senses is a great way for kids and their parents to participate in the science adventure.
