From the reviews:

The author, Professor Himanshu Patel, has made a long study and researched the topic for most of this period. & this book is aimed at undergraduates and postgraduates working on smell technology. & the book is an excellent and up-to-date review of this relatively new discipline. The references at the end of each chapter are comprehensive, and I recommend it to researchers and interested physics students. (Angela Newing, SCOPE, Vol. 23 (1), March, 2014)
