Today, we live in an almost odorless 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, Bj rn Berge introduces us to twenty iconic scents--from blood and soil to the ocean--and invites readers to reflect on and reawaken their senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836392507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 7.09w x 1.02d","brand":"Bj\u0026#195;\u0026#184;rn Berge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53024777240757,"sku":"9781836392507","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781836392507.jpg?v=1787667972","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/smell-the-tale-of-a-fading-sense-9781836392507","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
