Book excerpt: "Senses and Sensation: Critical and Primary Sources" offers an comprehensive collection of key writings essential to anyone wishing to gain a critical understanding of sensory studies. Drawing upon historical and contemporary texts from a wide range of sources, this set is inspired by the sensory turn in the humanities, social sciences and fine arts which has challenged the monopoly that psychology formerly held over the study of senses and sensation. It also builds upon the revolution in psychology and the neurosciences which has led to an increase emphasis on the interaction and integration of the senses, in place of the one-sense-at-time approach. The four volumes include over 80 essays from the humanities, social sciences, fine arts, biology, psychology and the neurosciences. Ordered by the discipline, the volumes cover geography and anthropology, history and sociology, biology, psychology and neuroscience, and art and design.
