{"product_id":"smell-1","title":"Smell","description":"The sense of smell is often linked to the dark, the antisocial, the primitive – the very opposite of modernity and progress. Today we live in an almost odourless world, where everything is reduced to images. Yet smell plays a vital role in how we relate to others and our surroundings, forming our experiences and our memories. Tracing a history of smell from the first ancient cities, through medieval plagues and the Industrial Revolution to the present day, this book is a tribute to the sense of smell in all its beauty and disgust. Along the way Bjørn Berge introduces us to twenty iconic scents – from blood and soil to the ocean – and invites readers to reflect on and reawaken their senses.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490156028277,"sku":"9781836392507","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781836392507.jpg?v=1786442041","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/smell-1","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
