A Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman

Each of the senses in turn are explored in this book. The reader learns of the invention of the croissant; why the Empress Josephine wore violet-scented perfume; that premature babies develop quicker if they are massaged; what makes up the Omnivore's picnic; what is the special appeal of chocolate.
