内容简介：
From Publishers Weekly
Nobody knows for sure what makes our noses work the way they do, not even the $20-billion-a-year perfume industry's legions of chemists, whose jobs depend on appealing to those noses. So what happens when Luca Turin, a likable scientist who happens to possess an unusually sensitive nose, proposes a new theory of smell that promises to unravel the mystery once and for all? That's what readers find out in this often funny, picaresque expos‚ of the closed world of whiffs, aromas and odors-and the people who study them. Burr (A Separate Creation: The Search for the Biological Origins of Sexual Orientation) narrates in depth Turin's efforts to publish in the journal Nature: the maddening peer review process lasts more than a year and ends with smug dismissals by scientists who don't understand his work. Turin, whose urbane personality carries the book, runs into similar brick walls when he tries to sell his ideas to the "Big Boys" of the secretive and byzantine perfume industry. Burr, who is skilled at parsing complex science and smart turns of phrase, enters the story in the first person to describe his own difficulties as a journalist writing about Turin: critics clam up and get hostile when asked about Turin's theory. Burr concludes that the hysterical, often incoherent resistance portrayed here "embodies the failure of the scientific process." Grim words for a book so full of wit.

原文赏析：
“…France is a country of smells.”
"…The idea that things should be slightly dirty, overripe,slightly fecal is everywhere in France. They like rotten cheese and dirty sheets and unwashed women."
…He turned on the hot water, and suddenly the room blossomed into an astonishing, mesmerizing sandalwood smell.

媒体评论
A brilliant, feisty scientist at the center of a nasty,
back-stabbing, utterly absorbing, cliff-hanging scramble for the
Nobel Prize. The Emperor of Scent is a quirky, wonderful
book.
-John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and
Evil
"Professional perfume critic, obsessive collector of rare
fragrances, academic-bad-boy biochemist and world-class eccentric,
Luca Turin would be the worthy subject of a book even if he hadn't
come up with a revolutionary scientific theory. Written with skill
and verve, The Emperor of Scent is an engrossing intellectual
detective story about one iconoclast's quest to solve a
centuries-old mystery--how smell works."
-Miles Harvey, author of The Island of Lost Maps
"The Emperor of Scent is a gem of a book--a suspense story at
whose heart is a man of super-human powers who is also flawed and
justifiably arrogant and dangerously steeped in hubris. I challenge
any intelligent, curious mind not to tumble into this story and
find themselves immediately engrossed. I fell in love with Luca
Turin--he is everything I admire in a human: irreverent, witty,
imaginative, determined, elitist without a trace of snobbery and
above all a creative genius. And Chandler Burr is a magician
himself, and a man we should all be so lucky to have at a dinner
party: I was mesmerized and enlightened by the many perfect asides
woven into the main body of this incredible true tale."
-Alexandra Fuller, author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs
Tonight
?What happens when Luca Turin, a likable scientist who happens to
possess an unusually sensitive nose, proposes a new theory of smell
that promises to unravel the mystery [of scent] once and for all?
That?s what readers find out in this often funny, picaresque exposé
of the closed world of whiffs, aromas and odors?and the people who
study them.?
?Publishers Weekly (starred review)
?Exhibiting more grace than a magician in tails, Chandler Burr
brings science and the people who practice it to life in The
Emperor of Scent. . . . Burr does a remarkable job of explaining
both Turin, the man behind the idea, and his science.?
?The Denver Post
?Chandler Burr . . . has transformed a chance meeting with a
curious biophysicist named Luca Turin into an amusing and poetic
adventure in science and art.?
?The Washington Post
