A Natural History of the Senses is a 1990 non-fiction book by American author, poet, and naturalist Diane Ackerman. In this book, Ackerman examines both the science of how the different senses work, and the varied means by which different cultures have sought to stimulate the senses. The book was the inspiration for the five-part Nova miniseries Mystery of the Senses (1995) in which Ackerman appeared as the presenter.

  • «Всеобщая история чувств» — это книга, написанная американским поэтом и натуралистом Дианой Акерман. Впервые книга была опубликована в 1990 году. Это попытка исследовать с точки зрения истории, биологии и антропологии происхождение и эволюцию ощущений, различие их сознательного восприятия в различных культурах и донести до читателя эти знания сквозь призму поэтической прозы. Три произведения Акерман были названы бестселлерами New York Times: «Век человека» (2014), «Жена смотрителя зоопарка» (2008) и «Всеобщая история чувств» (1990). Книга была переведена на русский язык и издана в 2018 году. (ru)

  • The Great Affair The great affair, the love affair with life, is to live as variously as possible, to groom one's curiosity like a high-spirited thoroughbred, climb aboard, and gallop over the thick, sun-struck hills every day.. It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between. (en)

  • A Natural History of the Senses is a 1990 non-fiction book by American author, poet, and naturalist Diane Ackerman. In this book, Ackerman examines both the science of how the different senses work, and the varied means by which different cultures have sought to stimulate the senses. The book was the inspiration for the five-part Nova miniseries Mystery of the Senses (1995) in which Ackerman appeared as the presenter. “What is most amazing is not how our senses span distance or cultures, but how they span time. Our senses connect us intimately to the past, connect us in ways that most of our cherished ideas never could.” (en)
