What makes sweat stink? Do human pheromones exist? Why do some people produce colorful sweat? And can we control how much we sweat? In The Joy of Sweat, science journalist Sarah Everts goes behind the taboo to answer alt the questions we're too embarrassed to ask, delivering a "cheerful, unabashed deep dive into the dank world of sweat and stink" (Emily Cataneo, Undark). Taking readers around the globe from a smell-dating event in Moscow to a forensic lab in England that tracks criminal sweat and a legendary smoke sauna in Finland, The Joy of Sweat is a fresh take on a gross but engrossing fact of human life. Book jacket.
