The Natural History of the Senses - Diane Ackerman

A book from the 90's that's held its worth. Ackerman, a poet and naturalist, and if I remember correctly, in this book she examines how people from other cultures have used their 'senses' to stimulate their brains and other parts. "Lucious and erudite" it says on the back, yes! I remember this book being a Big Deal in the early 90's, and those are the kinds of books we'd like to feature here. *A nice gently read copy.
