The smell of fresh rain : the unexpected pleasures of our most elusive sense

Shaw, Barney2017
Books
What do we actually mean when we say that something smells of fresh paint? Or frying bacon? And what does five o'clock in the morning smell like? Inspired by an unsettlingly synaesthesic question put to him by his son, Barney Shaw looks into the science of smell: peering behind its sensory nature to discover its complexities, and finding surprising beauty in its processes.
