Reviews
Not for the squeamish. A lively, quotable survey of how a specific emotion works for and against our benefit., ...[Herz] manages it quite admirably: to be vivid and true to her subject without getting so revolting that her readers react the way we react to anything that disgusts us, which is by trying to get as far away as possible., [Herz's] strength as a researcher and author are apparent in her ability to cite and explain academic studies in a conversational manner., In this smart and engaging book, Rachel Herz tells the story of disgust. She shows how it permeates everything that matters. It determines what we eat and who we talk to and who we sleep with. It infuses our law and our politics, and can, sometimes, be a source of great pleasure. Disgust is, as Herz explains, the truest mirror of human nature. This is a fascinating book on a disturbing but important topic.
