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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eRevelations in Air\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 smells--from lavender, cut grass and hot chocolate to cannabis and old books--using smell as a lens into art, history, science, and more. With an engaging colorful design and exercises for readers to refine their own skills, \u003ci\u003eRevelations in Air\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond science or history or chemistry--it's a doorway into the surprising, pleasurable, and unfamiliar landscape of smell.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJude Stewart \u003c\/b\u003ewrites about design and culture for \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eBeliever\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFast Company\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Design Observer\u003c\/i\u003e and other publications.
