A smorgasbord of the senses from a professor of animal behaviour: how they work, why they're there, and what they mean for both human and animal lives.

The thrilling story of how our senses evolved and how they shape our encounters with the world Our senses are what make life worth living. They allow us to appreciate a sip of an ice-cold drink, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover. But only recently have incredible advances in sensory biology given us the ability to understand how and why our senses evolved as they have. In Where We Meet the World, biologist Ashley Ward takes readers on a breathtaking tour of how our senses function. Ward looks at not only the five major senses--vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch--but also a host of other senses, such as balance and interoception, the sense of the body's internal state. Drawing on new research, he explores how our senses interact with and regulate each other, and he uncovers what we can learn from how other animals--and even bacteria--encounter the world. Full of warmth and humor, Where We Meet the World shows how new insights in biology transform our understanding of the relationship between ourselves and our environment, revealing the vibrancy--and strangeness--of both.

Unbound & Wild, in one sentence, is to help women live confidently in who they are in Christ, find real freedom, and find and live in their unique calling and purpose. I want women who read it to feel like we're sitting at our favorite coffee shop, sipping our favorite drink (give me all the coffee ), being real and cheering each other on. Not shallow chit-chat. But, real talk.Most of us struggle with being confident in who we are. Shame, guilt, condemnation weigh us down, whispering lies and labels in our ears. And, even screams at us. Pain, hurt, wounds and our past are the lenses we look at ourselves and life through. And yet, we can be free from all of it. We can face it, do the work of processing through it and releasing it to the Lord, soaking in the truth, and come up out and rally as women who know who we are no matter what our past says, we can live in the freedom Christ longs for us, and when we do, we'll discover the desires of our hearts given to us by the Lord that becomes our one-of-a-kind calling that can shine beauty, life, and hope into our world.In addition to this, we'll also talk about boundaries, toxic relationships, learning how to hear the Lord's voice, how to fight the enemy, how to build your tribe (trusted, safe community), etc. Yep, it'll be a firehose, so buckle up : )This is a one stop book with no beating around the bush, tactical tips and steps, and lessons that I've learned and used in my journey in this. As you read, you'll find that I'm not here to just talk at you. I'm sharing my struggles, my rawness in the journey to come alongside you, to help you with what I've learned and am learning, and to let you know you are not alone in this journey.Sisters, let us rally, do the work, sip our coffee, and encourage, challenge, and inspire each other to confident identity, owning freedom and healing, and discovering and living in our unique callings And, even when you've finished reading Unbound & Wild, I'm not ditching you in your journey. Let's connect on Instagram and Facebook so we can continue encouraging each other. I post daily tips, encouragement, and life stuff on there, and I publish weekly on www.unboundandwild.us, so please swing by and say hi; I'd love to meet you : )
