Description: Super Senses by Emma Young Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A mind-bending, eye-opening scientific exploration of our senses - all 32 of them Publisher Description How do you sniff out danger? What is a sense of direction or a gut instinct? You know about your five senses: hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. But recent research has shown that we actually have at least thirty-two. We take our senses for granted but what would be possible if we properly understood how they all work? Award-winning science writer Emma Young has spent over a decade finding out, and in Super Senses she takes us on an exhilarating sensory journey, revealing how we taste things without using our tongues, why swearing is good for us and why both chocolate and rollercoasters can help you fall in love. Using the very latest cutting-edge research, she explains the exploits of record-breaking freedivers, whirling dervishes, super-tasters, stock market millionaires, and many more. Discover how touch can ease pain, how taking your pulse can make you fitter and why Abbas Dancing Queen sounds different in Bolivia. Sharing surprising secrets from blind ballerinas, voodoo priests and even a nurse who can smell Parkinsons disease before it is diagnosed, Super Senses uncovers the science behind these abilities that make us human - and offers fascinating lessons in how we can all learn to use them better. Author Biography Emma Young is an award-winning science writer and a former editor on New Scientist. Her articles have been published in the Guardian and the Atlantic. While researching this book she learnt how to echolocate like a bat, have an out of body experience, and trick strangers into liking her. She lives in Sheffield with her husband and two children.
