Description
Discover the fascinating science behind human touch. Professor Michael Banissy explores how our daily interactions with others shape us and our world. From the importance of touch in healthy development to the impact of kissing on our genetic choices, Banissy delves into the complexities of human contact.
He examines the nuances of appropriate touch across cultures and genders, investigates the differences in our 'touch personas', and offers solutions to the 'touch hunger' that has become a modern epidemic. With engaging anecdotes and expert insights, Banissy reveals the surprising ways in which touch affects our lives.
When We Touch is a thought-provoking exploration of our most overlooked sense. With its unique blend of science and storytelling, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the power of human connection.
