An Immense World
How can the same physical world become radically different to different animals? An Immense World examines smell, light, color, pain, heat, touch, vibration, sound, echolocation, electricity, magnetism, and multisensory integration, then asks how human light and noise reshape those perceptual habitats. Its value is a more careful, less human-centered understanding of other species.
Other Minds
Other Minds asks how subjective experience emerged from living matter and what cephalopods reveal about minds built along a separate evolutionary path. It traces sensing, nervous systems, embodiment, consciousness, communication, language, aging, and social ecology, offering a comparative way to understand intelligence without assuming one human-like design.
The Hidden Life of Trees
The book asks what trees do beyond growing: how communication, cooperation, competition, soil, fungi, seasons, and disturbance make forests resilient, and why isolation and simplified management weaken them. Its value is a systems-level way to understand trees as living communities rather than interchangeable timber.
