Senses and Sensibilities (Wiley Science Editions)

By Jillyn Smith

Book Overview

A lively book about the five senses, beginning with a history of sensing. Comprehensively treats each of the five senses from concrete explanations and problems of sensory loss and deprivation to the sociological implications of our sensory input. From sensory disorders and individual differences in perception to an exploration of the fine art of tasting and an exploration of therapeutic touch. Engagingly entertains such subjects as eyebrow greetings, artificial noses, and the effect of sugar on our moods.
