Summary:
"An extraordinary, strange, and startlingly beautiful exploration of
smell
, the least understood of our five senses. Overlapping with taste yet larger in scope,
smell
is the sense that comes closest to pure perception.
Smell
can collapse space and time, unlocking memories and transporting us to worlds both new and familiar. Yet as clearly as each of us can recognize different smells -- the bright tang of citrus, freshly sharpened pencils, parched earth after rain--few of us understand how and why we
smell
. In
Revelations
in
Air
, Jude Stewart takes us on a fascinating journey into the weird and wonderful world of
smell
. Beginning with lessons on the incredible biology and history of how our noses work, Stewart teaches us how to use our noses like experts. Once we're properly equipped and ready to sniff, Stewart explores a range of smells-from lavender, cut grass and hot chocolate to cannabis and old books-using
smell
as a lens into art, history, science, and more. With an engaging colorful design and exercises for readers to refine their own skills, '
Revelations
in
air
' goes beyond science or history or chemistry -- it's a doorway into the surprising, pleasurable, and unfamiliar landscape of
smell
