Excellent- More about Super Senses: The Science of Your 32 Senses and How to Use Them
We have at least thirty-two senses, according to recent research, and Emma Young has spent over a decade exploring them in her book Super Senses. She reveals how we can use these senses to our advantage, such as tasting things without using our tongues, swearing being good for us, and chocolate and rollercoasters helping us fall in love. She also shares surprising secrets from blind ballerinas, voodoo priests, and a nurse who can smell Parkinson's disease before it is diagnosed.

How do you detect danger? What is a sense of direction or a gut instinct? You are familiar with your five senses: hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. But recent research has revealed that we actually have at least thirty-two. We often take our senses for granted, but what if we fully understood how they all function?
Award-winning science writer Emma Young has dedicated over a decade to uncovering these mysteries. In her captivating book, Super Senses, she takes readers on an exhilarating sensory journey, revealing how we taste things without using our tongues, why swearing is beneficial to us, and why both chocolate and rollercoasters can help us fall in love.
Using the latest cutting-edge research, Young explains the extraordinary exploits of record-breaking freedivers, whirling dervishes, super-tasters, stock market millionaires, and many more. Discover how touch can alleviate pain, how taking your pulse can improve your fitness, and why Abba's "Dancing Queen" sounds different in Bolivia.
Sharing surprising secrets from blind ballerinas, voodoo priests, and even a nurse who can smell Parkinson's 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 enhance and harness them.
