About What the Nose Knows: The Science of Scent in Everyday Life
From School Library Journal<p>Adult/High School—Gilbert, a psychologist concerned with the aromatic side of life, is a marvelous storyteller. Weaving together all that is involved in human anatomical smell function, the connecting wires between smell and emotional life, comparative data revealing differences and likenesses between men and women and dogs and humans, the invention and production of artificial scents, and more, he leads readers from tales that amaze to facts that amuse, interspersing opportunities for unabashed wonder. Would the entertainment world be different today if Smell-O-Vision hadn't been beat to market by AromaRama? Would your sense of smell be better if you hadn't played soccer as a kid? Are there good vocational choices for folks who can't smell well at all? The author's prose is flawless, making this book a perfect choice for teens interested in science as well as those still nursing a middle school devotion to trivia. Be sure to point it out to Advanced Placement teachers in both the English and physical sciences departments, but expect less-motivated readers to find chunks of it welcome when read aloud.—<em>Francisca Goldsmith, Halifax Public Libraries, Nova Scotia</em> <br />Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. </p>Review<p>Finalist for the 2008 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Science and Technology<br /><br /></p><p>“[S]mart, eminently readable. . . . a lighthearted book, packed with curious tidbits.”<br />–<em>New York Observer</em><br /></p><p>“[A]n entertaining romp through the science of smell.”<br />–<em>Newsweek</em><br /></p><p>“Avery Gilbert is the David Sedaris of the nostril, the Mark Twain of the nasal passages.”<br />–<em>JAMA </em>(<em>Journal of the American Medical Association</em>)<em><br /></em><br />“Avery Gilbert's whistle-stop journey . . . through, around and inside the nose is remarkably entertaining, and a great read for anyone seeking a tour that awakens the senses. Everybody who is anybody in the world of scent, and a few impostors too, make an appearance as we bounce from chapter to chapter, learning diverse olfactory gems.” <br />–<em>New Scientist</em><br /></p><p>“[A] great deal of fun. . . . <em>What the Nose Knows </em>provides a well-researched, even scholarly, compendium of olfactory facts and fallacies, woven into an enticing history of the uses and misuses of scent. Having dug through what one can imagine must have been some very moldy smelling archives, Gilbert presents a wide-ranging yet deep look at what our ‘noses knowses.’” <br />–<em>Science</em><br /></p><p>“[A] great book on an overlooked topic. . . . Gilbert combines a scientist’s sense of wonder, a scent-making professional’s sensibility, and a slightly <em>Beavis and Butt-Head</em>-like fascination with aroma.” <br />–Peter Dykstra, CNN Science, SciTechBlog<br /></p><p>“The volume is almost a guilty pleasure (since smell jokes are generally vulgar), hence one of the best kinds of book. Besides its entertainment value, it is also genuinely informative. . . . Gilbert quips like a stand-up comic throughout but never lets humor trump solid, research-based information, which is nothing to sniff at.”</p>
