Your fine-tuned sense of smell has the power to transport you back in time to granny's house or lure you into the bakery for fresh bread. Scents have been a precious commodity for millennia, yet medical doctor and researcher Alexander Wieck Fjaeldstad explains that different people have diverging perceptions of aromatic spices, fragrances, and flavours. The 400 types of receptors in our olfactory system can detect minute traces of danger and even make us subconsciously approve or reject potential partners. In Reflections, scholars deliver engaging reflections on key concepts. These pocket-sized books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.
