Nose Dive: A Field Guide to the World’s Smells

byHarold McGee

Harold McGee's Nose Dive investigates the field guide to the world’s smells, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, Nose Dive moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Nose Dive within cooking and health & fitness, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the field guide to the world’s smells continues to shape the present.
