Sweating may be one of our weirdest biological functions, but it's also one of our most vital and least understood. In The Joy of Sweat, Sarah Everts goes behind the taboo and delves into its role in the body-and in human history. She reveals the wondrous mechanics of the sweat glands and the millions of sweat pores in human skin. She explores why sweat is salty, why what you eat can affect the color of your sweat, and why we sweat when stressed (and whether it can be controlled). She takes part in a sweat dating event, traces the controversial history of antiperspirants and deodorants, considers the purported health benefits of saunas, sweat lodges, and hammams, and investigates whether "eyewitnesses" to a crime may someday be replaced by "nose-witnesses" who can pick a suspect's body odor out of a police lineup"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 612.793 Ev Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.793 Everts Checked out 05/24/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 612.793 Ev Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.793 Ev Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.793 Ev Checked out 06/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList
