气味比声音和视觉更能让你心跳加速。-鲁迪亚德·吉卜林就是这样开始的，这是对当前人类化学感觉知识的全面概述。虽然它显然是关于这个主题的最好的作品，但它也遭受了这类文集不可避免的缺点：每一章由不同的作者撰写，有一定的脱节和重叠。编辑们在一定程度上克服了这一点，将这本书组织成了七个部分：“神经基础”、“心理物理整合”、“行为的化学感觉调节”、“临床问题”、“运输障碍”、“感觉神经障碍”和“全身状况”。在罗伯特·亨金缺席的情况下，作者包括了化学感觉方面的大师。总体而言，这部作品代表了该领域最好的科学写作。并不是说音量没有问题。关于抑郁症和化学感官的章节已经过时多年，参考的是《精神疾病诊断和统计手册-III标准》(1980)，而不是DSM-III-R(1987)。
Smells are surer than sounds and sights to make your heart-strings crack. —Rudyard Kipling So begins this thorough compendium of current knowledge of human chemosensation. While clearly the best work available on the topic, it suffers the inevitable shortcomings of such collections: with each chapter by a different author, there is a certain disjointedness and overlapping. The editors have overcome this to a degree by organizing the book into seven parts: "Neural Basis," "Psychophysical Integration," "Chemosensory Regulation of Behavior," "Clinical Problems," "Transport Disorders," "Sensorineural Disorders," and "Systemic Conditions." With the notable absence of Robert Henkin, the authors include the gurus of chemosensation. Overall, the work represents the best scientific writing in the field. Not that the volume is without problems. The chapter on depression and the chemical senses is years out of date, referring to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-III criteria (1980) rather than the DSM-III-R (1987).
