An exploration of the hidden complexities of one of our most under-used and misunderstood senses.
Barney Shaw is an artist, and former civil servant. He was Private Secretary to Norman Tebbit and later David Miliband, and was put in charge of the country's 1,100 unemployment benefit offices. He was also responsible for government policy on, variously: Scientology, anthrax, and wartime conscription. This is his first book.
The inclusion of a thesaurus which provides accessible definitions
of everyday smells is useful and informative and allows the reader
to develop their own pleasing language to give voice to the
tantalisingly mysterious world of scent. His guidance and advice
around how to develop one's sense of smell is clear and relatable
and ensures you are left sniffing the world around you long after
you finish the final page. This is a fascinating, engrossing
adventure guided by passionate and thoughtful insights from Shaw
which will keep you riveted throughout. A must have for those of
you who have ever looked past the end of your nose and wondered
about its olfactory brilliance.
