But there are more secrets yet to be discovered, some of which may test their friendship and tear them apart. As danger and death press closer, they struggle to determine who can truly be trusted.

Your sense of smell is a fundamental part of life as most of us know it.So what happens when it disappears? When Paola Totaro lost her sense of smell to Covid in March 2020, she found herself trapped in a sensory vacuum. In a quest for answers, she embarked on a journey of discovery to unravel the mysteries -and eccentricities - of the fifth sense. From the theories of ancient philosophers to the cutting-edge laboratories of 21st-century neuroscience, On the Scent explores the mysteries of our ʻCinderellaʼ sense. It offers a unique glimpse into the world of those born without smell as well as those who lose it; exploring how smell can be a key indicator of declining physical health; and offering up the latest research that can offer hope to the millions of people worldwide who have suffered sensory loss. "Enthralling, moving, and elegantly written."-Peter Godfrey-Smith, author of Other Minds "An engaging read . . . packed with insights and observations that bring this topic to life for everyone."-Professor Barry Smith, Centre for the Study of the Senses "Destined to be a bible for anyone who has lost their sense of smell."-Chrissi Kelly, AbScent"This book will profoundly change the way you think about your ability to smell and how its loss affects our lives."-Fiona Fox, Director of the Science and Media Centre and author of Beyond the Hype
This collection of essays on policing and the use of force, while written over the course of the last twenty-five years, remains relevant and timely. Although issues in policing and questions about excessive force and brutality have been addressed by criminologists, sociologists, philosophers, and criminal justice ethicists, only a handful of theological ethicists treat this pressing matter. While the Christian moral tradition has a voluminous record of theological attention to violence and nonviolence, war and peace, there is a dearth of references to policing. And most considerations of criminal justice issues by Christians and their churches concentrate on prison reform, or abolition, and the death penalty, but not policing. These essays, authored by a theological ethicist possessing professional experience in law enforcement, seek to fill this curious gap. They offer a framework for moral reasoning concerning the justification for police use of force and the just application of such force, and they propose just policing as a model that is consonant with promoting a just peace in communities and society. In addition, they explore the implications of such an approach for wider, international questions about just war, terrorism, the responsibility to protect, and post-war justice.

While most studies of just war focus on the rationale for going to war and the conduct of the war, this important book examines the period after the conflict. What must be done to restore justice? In the words of the authors, 'Victory' is declared by presidents and other leaders, yet all too often no just peace is to be found in the wake of today's conflicts. . . . After the smoke clears, the powers that be may declare 'mission accomplished' when, as Ezekiel long ago said, there really is no peace.
