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.

    Seven Against Thebes - The Quest...

    In the thirteenth century BC, a quarter of a century before the Trojan War, seven Greek warrior heroes went against the Greek city of Thebes to restore one of their number to the throne of his father, the famous King Oedipus. Several children of those seven heroes would later take part in the siege of Troy. This adventure was equal in the minds of Greeks and Romans with the siege of Troy as told in Homer’s epic The Iliad, an event which it predated by a generation. And while the story contains mythical elements, there are no factual, historical, or archaeological reasons to suggest that the military campaign did not take place much as described. Initially sung in verse and later committed to written form via histories, ancient poems, and plays, Seven Against Thebes is a historical narrative concerning one of the greatest military adventures of all time.

    A brilliantly witty book about the intertwined lives of psychoanalyst Ernest Jones, surgeon Wilfred Trotter and the guru of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. 
     
    Welsh-born psychoanalyst Ernest Jones was Sigmund Freud's closest associate and most fervent disciple. Clever, self-confident and intensely ambitious, Jones promoted psychoanalysis as a kind of secular religion. Meanwhile, his intimate friend Wilfred Trotter - a celebrated surgeon who saved the life of George V, and who took on Freud as a patient during his London exile - refused to yield to the seductions of the new Freudianism. A quintessentially English figure, Trotter was unimpressed by slick medical careerists, distrusted grand theories and lacked pomposity and self-regard. 
     
    From the first psychoanalytic congress in Salzburg in 1908 to the illness of King George in the late 1920s and the meeting of Freud and Trotter in 1939, Seamus O'Mahony tells the story of these three figures and their intertwined lives with his customary wit and erudition. Not only the story of the development of psychoanalysis, this is a book about the sexual obsessions of intellectual and bohemian circles in London, Cambridge and Vienna, of Bloomsbury, of doctors in pursuit of wealth and fame. It covers a pivotal thirty years in European history, and reveals how and why the writings of a failed neurologist from Vienna became so influential.

    Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few.
