Review Quotes:
"A Sensory History Manifesto is an impressively wide-ranging synthesis of some of the key developments in the field, covering the entire globe and all periods from antiquity to the present. It offers many excellent ideas for future interdisciplinary research, including engaging more fully with emerging animal-human interaction studies and with the hard sciences."
--Tim Lockley, author of Military Medicine and the Making of Race: Life and Death in the West India Regiments, 1795-1874
