Brought to us by the award-winning author, Harold McGee, Nose Dive, is a fascinating exploration of history, food, and our larger world by way of smell. What are the molecules that provoke are senses in the medicinal smell of sea urchins and daffodils, the sharp citrus present in many ales and coriander, or the agreeable sweetness of roses or vanilla? A highly accessible and entertaining, yet scholarly volume, Nose Dive is a history of the world as much as an invitation to smell our communities and ourselves. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
