In 'Psychologie van de reuk' benadert Piet Vroon, i.s.m. Anton van Amerongen en Hans de Vries, op een originele, luchtige en prikkelende manier de werking van onze merkwaardige reukzin. Het reukvermogen krijgt vaak niet de aandacht die het verdient: oog en oor worden als veel belangrijker beschouwd. Maar geuren hebben nogal wat invloed op ons gedrag en zelfs op ons lichamelijk functioneren. Hoe komen geursensaties tot stand? Hoe zit het met gewenning aan geuren? Welke verandering ondergaat de reukzin door het leven heen? In hoeverre is de geurwaarneming afhankelijk van het geslacht, de leeftijd, de levenswijze, het beroep, de cultuur en dergelijke? 'Psychologie van de reuk' is inmiddels in vele landen (van Korea tot de USA) vertaald.
