Nose Dive: A Field Guide to the World's Smells by Harold McGee
5.0
Harold McGee creates a fascinating, well-researched, and beautifully written book about the chemistry behind the smells of the world.
It's a testament to McGee's talent as a writer - and passion for the subject - that something as seemingly dry as molecular chemistry could be written about so eloquently. While it can definitely be dense at times, for those with a deeper knowledge of the science of scents, it's required reading.
