The Deepest Sense par Constance Classen
An erudite astounding delight. Has opened worlds for me.
Classen presents a deep, well-researched, and fascinating story of the most intimate of our five senses. Readers will be challenged in their thinking. They will see new ways of interpreting history and home life. Ideas will continue to come back to them as they go about their lives. The downside of this depth is that Information is densely packed, making it hard to read. Laypersons may struggle through it, though the information is interesting and relevant enough to make it worth the effort.
