From the incense burned in medieval religious rituals to the use of modern sniffer dogs, smells have been central to our sense of identity, our ability to build communities, and, perhaps less positively, to mark those deemed unwelcome within them. Our sense of smell brings us the pleasure of good food, wine, and perfume, but it also warns us of dangerous fire, gas, and rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat did the past smell like? Why does our own world smell the way it does?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving through key locations, from libraries to forests, churches to hospitals, Will Tullett explores the peculiar history of smell. We smell witchcraft and murder, fin de siècle Parisian theatres, and cinemas in 1960s New York. What emerges is not just a history of smells, but biographies of the many noses that have sniffed them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Tullett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300282591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300282597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Will Tullett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517098307839,"sku":"9780300282597","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdf579a4-44f2-48f9-b46f-6bfbf64d30a8.jpg?v=1778729889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sniff-will-tullett-9780300282597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
