{"product_id":"the-smell-culture-reader-jim-drobnick-9781845202125","title":"The Smell Culture Reader","description":"Smell is fundamental to experience but mired in paradox. Stigmatized as animalistic, it nonetheless feeds a vast fragrance and marketing industry. Considered ephemeral, scents have survived throughout the ages in a number of religious practices. The Smell Culture Reader provides a much-needed overview of what is arguably the most elusive sense. From hygiene to aromatherapy, the fetid to the fragrant, smells are shown to be much more than just an adornment or a nuisance. Addressing this engaging sense in redolent detail, The Smell Culture Reader demonstrates how essential smell is to sexuality, social status, personal identity, and cultural tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Drobnick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845202120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845202125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.34w x 1.24d","brand":"Jim Drobnick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077591986431,"sku":"9781845202125","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3772082-794a-4b43-b471-088aa853abf0.jpg?v=1685470768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-smell-culture-reader-jim-drobnick-9781845202125","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
