Sensory Environmental Relationships: Between Memories of the Past and Imaginings of the Future, edited by Dr Blaž Bajič and Dr Ana Svetel, Vernon Press, 2023, presents a collection of 10 essays that delve into the deep connections between our senses, the environments we inhabit, and the ways we perceive time. Originating from a panel at the IUAES in 2021, the volume brings together diverse ethnographic case studies to explore these intricate relationships. The editors, Bajič and Svetel, along with contributors from various European universities, position this work within the context of the “sensory revolution” in the humanities and social sciences. Understanding sensory environmental relationships is critically important in a time when environments are changing at an increasing pace.
