Review Quotes: "This excellent and engaging book takes up a smoking - a 'quintessentially atmospheric' practice. Working through an ephemeral sensory substance - tobacco smoke - its careful archival work opens new conceptual insight for studies of atmospheres. It reminds us that much of 20th century everyday life was made sense of in a smoky haze." --Shanti Sumartojo, Associate Professor, Monash University, Australia
