{"product_id":"smell-bjrn-berge-9781836392507","title":"Smell","description":"The sense of smell is often linked to the dark, the antisocial, the primitive – the very opposite of modernity and progress. Today we live in an almost odourless world, where everything is reduced to images. Yet smell plays a vital role in how we relate to others and our surroundings, forming our experiences and our memories. Tracing a history of smell from the first ancient cities, through medieval plagues and the Industrial Revolution to the present day, this book is a tribute to the sense of smell in all its beauty and disgust. Along the way Bjørn Berge introduces us to twenty iconic scents – from blood and soil to the ocean – and invites readers to reflect on and reawaken their senses.","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932761096480,"sku":"9781836392507","price":15.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781836392507_2919526.jpg?v=1782978578","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/smell-bjrn-berge-9781836392507","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
