Beschreibung

Smell Through Ages explores the fascinating, often overlooked, story of human olfaction through a scientific and historical lens. The book argues that our sense of smell isn't a fixed trait but rather a dynamic characteristic shaped by environmental shifts, cultural practices, and technological advancements. Readers will discover how early humans used smell for survival, identifying food and detecting danger, and how ancient civilizations incorporated scents like incense and perfumes into daily life.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the neuroscience of smell and the olfactory experiences of prehistoric and ancient eras. It then examines the impact of urbanization and industrialization on our olfactory landscapes during the medieval and early modern periods, highlighting the rise of new and often unpleasant smells associated with growing cities.

 
The book further explores how scientific advancements revolutionized the perfume industry and influenced our perceptions of cleanliness. Drawing on diverse evidence from archaeology, history, science, and cultural studies, Smell Through Ages offers a comprehensive overview of our evolving relationship with scent. It uniquely emphasizes the dynamic interplay of biological, cultural, and technological forces, making it a valuable read for anyone curious about the hidden history of our senses and sensory perception.

    For centuries, Christians and Muslims were embroiled in one of the most infamous territorial disputes of all time, viciously and relentlessly battling one another for the Holy Land. In the heart of Jerusalem sat one of the shining jewels of the Christian faith, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Legend has it that this was where their Savior had been buried before his fabled resurrection. What was more, it was said to house the very cross Jesus Christ had died upon. It was for precisely these reasons that fearless pilgrims, near and far, risked their lives and made the treacherous trek to Jerusalem.  
    	The Order of the Temple of Solomon, also known as the Templars or the Knights Templar, is one of the best-known and least-understood groups in history. They appear prominently in everything from novels (The Da Vinci Code) to films (as the Knights of the Cruciform Sword in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) to videogames (Assassin's Creed). In these stories, they are a sinister cult that manipulated historical events since the Middle Ages, via intimidation and assassination. They are usually connected to the Freemasons and, sometimes, to other historical cults like the Hindu Thuggees. 
    	The knights of the Teutonic Order have since been compared to the surreal creature that appeared to the biblical Ezekiel, one that bore 2 faces – one of a man's, and one of a lion's. The human side of the creature is said to symbolize the order's charity, whereas the lion was a metaphor for its valor and gallant spirit, which they relied on to vanquish the heathens of the world. 	Like other secretive groups, the mystery surrounding these military orders helped their legacies endure. While some conspiracy theorists attempt to tie the groups to other alleged secret societies like the Illuminati, other groups have tried to assert connections with them to bolster their own credentials.

    The discovery of Robert E. Lee's Special Orders No. 191 outside of Frederick, Maryland, on September 13, 1862, is one of the most important and hotly disputed events of the American Civil War. For more than 150 years, historians have debated if George McClellan, commander of the Union Army of the Potomac, dawdled after receiving a copy of the orders before warily advancing to challenge Lee's forces atop South Mountain. 
     
     
     
    In The Tale Untwisted, authors Gene Thorp and Alexander Rossino document in exhaustive fashion how "Little Mac" in fact moved with uncharacteristic energy to counter the Confederate threat and take advantage of Lee's divided forces, seizing the initiative and striking a blow in the process that wrecked Lee's plans and sent his army reeling back toward Virginia. 
     
     
     
    This study is a beautifully woven tour de force of primary research that may well be the final word on the debate over the fate and impact of the Lost Orders on the history of the 1862 Maryland Campaign.
