Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: new. Product DescriptionFrom the #1 bestselling author of Inside of a Dogand The Year of the Puppy-an incredible journey into the olfactory world of mans best friend (O, The Oprah Magazine), Alexandra Horowitzs follow-up to her New York Times bestseller explains how dogs experience the world through their most spectacular organ-the nose.In her fascinating bookHorowitz combines the expertise of a scientist with an easy, lively writing style (The New York Times Book Review) as she imagines what it is like to be a dog. Guided by her own dogs, Finnegan and Upton, Horowitz sets off on a quest through the cutting-edge science behind the olfactory abilities of the dog. In addition to speaking to cognitive researchers and smell experts, Horowitz visits detection-dog trainers and training centers; she meets researchers working with dogs to detect cancerous cells and anticipate epileptic seizure or diabetic shock; and she even attempts to smell-train her own nose.As we come to understand how rich, complex, and exciting the world around us is to the canine nose, Horowitz changes our perspective on dogs forever. Readers will finish this book feeling that they have broken free of their human constraints and understanding smell as never before; that they have, for however fleetingly, been a dog. And, as The Boston Globe says about Being a Dog, becoming more doglike, not surprisingly, can make anyones life a little more vivid.ReviewI'm not entirely certain whether Alexandra Horowitz's Being a Dog has made me want to buy a dog or morph into one-but I do know that it was magical. Horowitz has crafted an utterly engrossing, witty, finely-observed narrative that will make you look at the power of the nose in a wholly new way.-Maria Konnikova, author of The Confidence Game and Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes"An incredible journey into the olfactory world of man's best friend."-O Magazine"Like a Mary Roach but with a solid scientific background to her credit, Horowitz is a skilled investigative reporter who takes readers into unfamiliar worlds, shares her experiences there, asks probing questions, and makes those worlds come alive.
