Description

The Forgotten Sense: The New Science of Smell Smelling is one of the most natural things we do, with each breath taking us on a journey of scent interactions. Yet, despite its importance, our sense of smell is often overlooked. In this fascinating book, Jonas Olofsson reveals the science behind smell, drawing from cutting-edge research to show how it engages our brain's full capacity. Our memories, personalities, and preferences shape the way we interact with scents, with profound implications for how we perceive the world around us. Olofsson explores the role of smell in human evolution, from ancient philosophers to modern-day research, to answer questions about why two people can interpret the same smell differently.
