What the nose knows : the science of scent in everyday life / Avery Gilbert. by Gilbert, Avery N. New York : Crown Publishers, c2008. Subjects Smell -- Popular works.   Odors -- Popular works. ISBN:  9781400082346 : 140008234X : Description:  xii, 290 p. ; 25 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  1 Summary:  Everything about the sense of smell fascinates us, from its power to evoke memories to its ability to change our moods and influence our behavior. Yet because it is the least understood of the senses, myths abound. For example, contrary to popular belief, the human nose is almost as sensitive as the noses of many animals, including dogs; blind people do not have enhanced powers of smell; and perfumers excel at their jobs not because they have superior noses, but because they have perfected the art of thinking about scents. In this entertaining and enlightening journey through the world of aroma, olfaction expert Avery Gilbert illuminates the latest scientific discoveries and offers keen observations on modern culture.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 612.86 Gi Transit Add Copy to MyList
