A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 BEST BOOKS OF 2020: SCIENCE -
FINANCIAL TIMES SHORTLSTED FOR THE ANDRE SIMON AWARD The long
awaited new book from Harold McGee, winner of the Andre Simon Food
Book of the Year & the James Beard Award. What is smell? How
does it work? And why is it so important? HAROLD McGEE, leading
expert on the science of food and cooking, has spent a decade
exploring our most overlooked sense. Nose Dive is the amazing
result: it takes us on an adventure across four billion years and
the whole globe, from the sulphurous early Earth to the
fruit-filled Tian Shan mountain range north of the Himalayas, and
back to the keyboard of your laptop, where trace notes of phenol
and formaldehyde are escaping between the keys. A work of
astounding scholarship and originality, Nose Dive distils the
science behind smells and translates it into an accessible and
entertaining sensory and olfactory guide. We'll sniff the ordinary
(wet pavement and cut grass) and extraordinary (ambergris and
truffles), the delightful (roses and vanilla) and the challenging
(swamplands and durians). We'll smell each other. We'll smell
ourselves. Here is a story of the world, of all of the smells under
our noses. DIVE IN!
