It animates our experience of food and drink, helps us access memories, and strengthens our intimacy with each other. But, long considered our most “beastly” sense, the inner workings of smell have stumped scientists for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, cognitive scientist and leading smell researcher Jonas Olofsson uncovers the sophisticated processes that drive our olfactory system, with profound implications for how we perceive the world around us. Drawing from cutting-edge original research, Olofsson shows that not only is our sense of smell extraordinarily sensitive, its process of chemical exchange shaped human evolution on its most fundamental level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the pheromones, environmental signals, and emotions we process with each breath, olfaction makes us the individuals we are. Moreover, smelling is an intellectual exercise, Olofsson argues, one that we have the remarkable capacity to strengthen and, with some effort, even regain after illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith infectious curiosity and a host of applications—from emotional health and gastronomy to literature and even politics—\u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Sense \u003c\/i\u003eis a wide-ranging and entertaining look at this most understudied function of human life. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48471065231615,"sku":"9780063394681","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780063394681_s600x595.jpg?v=1780334984","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780063394681","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
