    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    #1 The peacock mantis shrimp is a colorful creature that has developed a reputation for being aggressive. In 1998, one of these shrimp broke through the glass wall of his aquarium in Great Yarmouth, England.

    #2 The most powerful punch in the animal kingdom is courtesy of the peacock mantis shrimp, which can deliver a blow that spells doom for aquarium walls and any snails unfortunate enough to be within reach. Their eyes are more powerful than their right hook.

    #3 Marshall’s fascination with Tyson and his brotherhood began some thirty-five years ago, when he was beginning a PhD with Mike Land at the University of Sussex in England. He had been scouting around for a subject when the decision was made for him by the visit of a foreign dignitary.

    #4 The eyesight of the peacock mantis shrimp is formidable. They can see four different colors that humans can’t, and they use this to see in ultraviolet light.

      Marshall’s fascination with Tyson and his brotherhood began some thirty-five years ago, when he was beginning a PhD with Mike Land at the University of Sussex in England. He had been scouting around for a subject when the decision was made for him by the visit of a foreign dignitary.

      #4

      The eyesight of the peacock mantis shrimp is formidable. They can see four different colors that humans can’t, and they use this to see in ultraviolet light.

      #5

      The amount of information conveyed by light is diverse, and humans have developed many ways of seeing. We have separate senses to take advantage of this. In 1994, the neurologist Oliver Sacks traveled to the remote atoll of Pingelap to see the world through the colorblind eyes of its inhabitants.

      #6

      Sacks visited the island of Pingelap, which was color-blind from birth, and observed that the locals did not view color blindness negatively. He wondered if the rich vegetation on the island, to us color-normals, was a polyphony of brightnesses, tonalities, shapes, and textures to them.

      #7

      The experience of colorblindness is different for each person. Some may see white and gold, while others see blue and black. Color and sound do not exist without a spectator or a listener to see or hear them. Color is in the eye of the beholder.
