Krátky popis
Smell is arguably the least understood sense, yet it has always
been a vital component of the human experience, and that of all
living creatures.It has been used by plants and animals for
millions of years to warn, to attract, to identify, to navigate and
even to mislead. Smelling to Survive explains some of these
fascinating processes, and explores how the past would have smelt
quite different to our ancestors, and how future technologies will
further change the world of scents. Along the way, leading
scientist Bill Hansson recounts amazing stories from the world of
olfactory research: from the tobacco plant that excretes an alarm
odor, to mosquitos that cherish the smell of sweaty feet, to lilies
that imitate the fragrance of horse manure. Hansson explains why
scientists are interested in the smell that surrounds teenage
males, and how climate change affects the smell of our environment.
He describes research trips to Christmas Island, where crabs with
particularly keen noses crack coconuts on the beach, and outlines
studies that reveal how penguins recognize their partner by their
scent.
