Revelations in Air by Jude Stewart is an extraordinary, strange, and startlingly beautifulbook that explorethe sense of smell, the least understood of our five senses
The nose on your face is the Buckingham Palace Guard of your body, the matre d’ of all taste, as well as the seducer of your imagination, and memoryand Jude Stewart has charmed them all into a wicked, poetic and illuminating tour of their mysterious domains. Jack Hitt, author of Bunch of Amateurs
Overlapping with taste yet larger in scope, smell is the sense that comes closest to pure perception. Smell can collapse space and time, unlocking memories and transporting us to worlds both new and familiar. Yet as clearly as each of us can recognize different smells–the bright tang of citrus, freshly sharpened pencils, parched earth after rain–few of us understand how and why we smell.
In Revelations in Air, Jude Stewart takes us on a fascinating journey into the weird and wonderful world of smell. Beginning with lessons on the incredible biology and history of how our noses work, Stewart teaches us how to use our noses like experts. Once we’re properly equipped and ready to sniff, Stewart explores a range of smellsfrom lavender, cut grass and hot chocolate to cannabis and old booksusing smell as a lens into art, history, science, and more. With an engaging colorful design and exercises for readers to refine their own skills, Revelations in Air goes beyond science or history or chemistry–it’s a doorway into the surprising, pleasurable, and unfamiliar landscape of smell.
