SPRINGER HANDBOOK OF ODOR GEBUNDEN

The Springer Handbook of Odor is the definitive guide to all aspects related to the study of
smell and their impact on human life. For the first time  this handbook aligns the
senso-chemo-analytical characterization of everyday smells encountered by mankind  with the
elucidation of perceptual  hedonic  behavioral and physiological responses of humans to such
odors. From birth onwards we learn to interact with our environment using our sense of smell.
Moreover  evolutionary processes have engendered a multi-faceted communication that is
supported ¿ even dominated ¿ by olfaction. This compilation examines the responses of humans to
odors at different stages of life  thereby building a foundation for a widely overseen area of
research with broader ramifications for human life. The expert international authors and editor
align aspects  concepts  methodologies and perspectives from a broad range of different
disciplines related to the science of smell. These include chemistry  physiology  psychology 
material sciences  technology but also disciplines related to linguistics  culture  art and
design. This handbook  edited by an internationally renowned aroma scientist with the support
of an outstanding team of over 60 authors  is an authoritative reference for researchers in the
field of odors both in academia and in industry and is also a useful reference for newcomers to
the area.
