Synopsis
A Natural History of the Senses is a non-fiction book by Diane Ackerman. In this book, Ackerman examines both the science of how the different senses work, and the varied means by which different cultures have sought to stimulate the senses. The book was the inspiration for the five-part Nova miniseries Mystery of the Senses. “What is most amazing is not how our senses span distance or cultures, but how they span time.
