An extraordinary, strange, and startlingly beautiful exploration 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 memory - and 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 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 engaging exercises for listeners 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.
