AN IMMENSE WORLD was awarded the National Book Foundation’s Science + Literature Prize for 2025. The committee’s citation reads: “Ed Yong’s AN IMMENSE WORLD: HOW ANIMAL SENSES REVEAL THE HIDDEN REALMS AROUND US challenges readers to regard the world through different eyes—not to mention sensory hairs, electroreceptors, and lyriform organs. It is an exemplary work of science writing—prodigiously reported, sharply crafted, and packed with information. Like all the best works of nonfiction, AN IMMENSE WORLD is rigorously grounded in fact and, at the same time, invites us all to be open to the great mysteries of life.” AN IMMENSE WORLD was published by Random House on June 21, 2022.
