Book excerpt: Sensing the World: An Anthropology of the Senses is a highly original and comprehensive overview of the anthropology and sociology of the body and the senses. Discussing each sense in turn – seeing, hearing, touch, smell, and taste – Le Breton has written a truly monumental work, vast in scope and deeply engaging in style. Among other pioneering moves, he gives equal attention to light and darkness, sound and silence, and his disputation of taste explores aspects of disgust and revulsion. Part phenomenological, part historical, this is above all a cultural account of perception, which returns the body and the senses to the center of social life. Le Breton is the leading authority on the anthropology of the body and the senses in French academia. With a repute comparable to the late Pierre Bourdieu, his 30+ books have been translated into numerous languages. This is the first of his works to be made available in English. This sensuously nuanced translation of La Saveur du monde is accompanied by a spicy preface from series editor David Howes, who introduces Le Breton's work to an English-speaking audience and highlights its implications for the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and the cross-disciplinary field of sensory studies.

Book excerpt: The most comprehensive description of the physical foundations of methods and instruments in the fields of passive remote sensing applied to investigations of the Earth, Solar system bodies and space. Emphasis is placed on the physical aspects necessary to judge the possibilities and limitations of passive remote sensing methods in specific observation cases. Numerous practical applications and illustrations are given referring to airspace up-to-date experiments. Due to the lack in traditional separation on methods and instruments of remote sensing of the Earth and outerterrestrial space this book aims to supply more information in this field.

Book excerpt: Exploring the World of Arduino Sensors In today's era of rapid technological advancement, the ability to sense and interact with the physical world has become a cornerstone of innovation. This capability allows us to gather data, automate tasks, create responsive systems, and bring our ideas to life in exciting ways. At the heart of this capability lies an incredible ecosystem of sensors, and at the forefront of accessible and versatile sensor platforms stands the Arduino. Arduino, the open-source electronics platform, has revolutionized the way we approach electronics projects. Its user-friendly interface, extensive community support, and a rich library of sensors and modules have democratized electronics, making it accessible to hobbyists, students, and professionals alike. In this document (or project), we delve into the fascinating realm of Arduino sensors. These remarkable devices come in a myriad of forms, each designed to detect and measure specific physical phenomena. From monitoring environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity to tracking motion, light, sound, and even the Earth's position in space, Arduino sensors empower us to create solutions to an array of challenges. Our journey through Arduino sensors will introduce us to an eclectic mix of devices, each with its unique abilities and applications. We will explore how these sensors work, how to connect them to Arduino boards, and how to write code that harnesses their data. Whether you're a seasoned maker looking to expand your toolkit or a newcomer eager to embark on your first sensor-driven project, this exploration promises to be an enlightening adventure. Together, we will unlock the potential of Arduino sensors, pushing the boundaries of what we can sense and achieve. Whether it's building a weather station, designing a home automation system, or crafting an interactive artwork, Arduino sensors are the tools that will help us transform imagination into reality. So, let's embark on this journey into the world of Arduino sensors, where innovation knows no bounds, and where the fusion of electronics and creativity opens doors to endless possibilities.

Book excerpt: Ways of Sensing is a stimulating exploration of the cultural, historical and political dimensions of the world of the senses. The book spans a wide range of settings and makes comparisons between different cultures and epochs, revealing the power and diversity of sensory expressions across time and space. The chapters reflect on topics such as the tactile appeal of medieval art, the healing power of Navajo sand paintings, the aesthetic blight of the modern hospital, the role of the senses in the courtroom, and the branding of sensations in the marketplace. Howes and Classen consider how political issues such as nationalism, gender equality and the treatment of minority groups are shaped by sensory practices and metaphors. They also reveal how the phenomenon of synaesthesia, or mingling of the senses, can be seen as not simply a neurological condition but a vital cultural mode of creating social and cosmic interconnections. Written by leading scholars in the field, Ways of Sensing provides readers with a valuable and engaging introduction to the life of the senses in society.

Book excerpt: "Smith's history of the sensate is destined to precipitate a revolution in our understanding of the sensibilities that underpinned the mentalities of past epochs."--David Howes, author of Sensual Relations: Engaging the Senses in Culture and Social Theory "Mark M. Smith presents a far-ranging essay on the history of the senses that serves simultaneously as a good introduction to the historiography. If one feels in danger of sensory overload from this growing body of scholarship, Smith's piece is a useful preventive."--Leigh E. Schmidt, author of Restless Souls: The Making of American Spirituality "This is a masterful overview. The history of the senses has been a frontier field for a while now. Mark Smith draws together what we know, with an impressive sensory range, and encourages further work. A really exciting survey."--Peter N. Stearns, author of American Fear: The Causes and Consequences of High Anxiety "Who would ever have guessed that a book on the history of the senses--seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling--could be informative, thought-provoking, and, at the same time, most entertaining? Ranging in both time and locale, Mark Smith's Sensing the Past makes even the philosophy about the senses from ancient times to now both learned and exciting. This work will draw scholars into under-recognized subjects and lay readers into a world we simply but unwisely take for granted."--Bertram Wyatt-Brown, author of Southern Honor: Ethics and Behavior in the Old South "Mark M. Smith has a good record of communicating his research to a broad constituency within and beyond the academy . . . This will be required reading for anyone addressing sensory history."--Penelope Gouk, author of Music, Science and Natural Magic in Seventeenth Century England "This is a fine cultural history of the body, which takes Western and Eastern traditions and their texts quite seriously. Smith views a history of the senses not only from 'below' but places it squarely in the historical imagination. It will be of interest to a wide range of readers."--Sander L. Gilman, author of Difference and Pathology
