      (1) it's pretty advanced at points. Having a degree in any science discipline will really help you appreciate the book.

      (2) there is a fair bit of #SciComm story filler between the hardcore science bits. I tended to skim that, but may be more to others taste.

      I really enjoyed the chapters on smell and DNA replication in particular. I also like the fact that it is very well referenced throughout.

      the chapter on the magnetic sensing capability of birds is pretty good too.

      (3) if you have a degree in physics, then you can skim/skip the first 100 pages because they just introduce quantum mechanical phenomena

      Just curious but do they propose olfaction is quantum? I thought that was bunk.

      Not as such. IIRC (I read it in May) it was a combination of various mechanisms and they were discussing where QM could play a role

      they state that theories of olfaction have to involve both shape and vibrational mechanisms. Link to QM is not proved,

      "but tunneling by electrons is the only known mechanism that could plausably explain how proteins can detect vibrations in odour molecules"
