Vannini, Waskul, and Gottschalk provide a comprehensive map of the social and cultural significance of the senses that is woven in a thorough analytical review of classical, recent, and emerging scholarship and grounded in original empirical data that deepens the review and analysis. By bridging cultural\/qualitative sociology and cultural\/humanistic anthropology, \u003cem\u003eThe Senses in Self, Society, and Culture\u003c\/em\u003e explicitly blurs boundaries that are particularly weak in this field due to the ethnographic scope of much research. Serving both the sociological and anthropological constituencies at once means bridging ethnographic traditions, cultural foci, and socioecological approaches to embodiment and sensuousness. \u003cem\u003eThe Senses in Self,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eSociety, and Culture\u003c\/em\u003e is intended to be a milestone in the social sciencesâ somatic turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An outstanding guide to the social study of the senses and an authoritative text for teaching the new and important turn to the body in the social sciences.\"—E.
