How do you sniff out danger? What is a sense of direction or a gut
instinct? You know about your five senses: hearing, sight, smell,
taste and touch. But recent research has shown that we actually
have at least thirty-two. We take our senses for granted but what
would be possible if we properly understood how they all work?
Award-winning science writer Emma Young has spent over a decade
finding out, and in Super Senses she takes us on an exhilarating
sensory journey, revealing how we taste things without using our
tongues, why swearing is good for us and why both chocolate and
rollercoasters can help you fall in love. Using the very latest
cutting-edge research, she explains the exploits of record-breaking
freedivers, whirling dervishes, super-tasters, stock market
millionaires, and many more. Discover how touch can ease pain, how
taking your pulse can make you fitter and why Abba's Dancing Queen
sounds different in Bolivia. Sharing surprising secrets from blind
ballerinas, voodoo priests and even a nurse who can smell
Parkinson's disease before it is diagnosed, Super Senses uncovers
the science behind these abilities that make us human - and offers
fascinating lessons in how we can all learn to use them better.
Could being more sensitive make us happier, healthier - or even
wealthier?
