 Lyall Watson's: Jacobson's Organ: And the Remarkable Nature of Smell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Watson organizes his thesis around the seven broad classes of smells identified by pioneering naturalist Carolus Linnaeus: floral, goatish, musky, foul, nauseating, spicy, and garlicky.
Watson says that plants, animals and people give off odorless molecules, called pheromones, that are detected by Jacobson's organ and then passed along to the brain, where they cause contentment, fear and, most notably, sexual attraction.
Watson lists his training as a naturalist, evolutionary biologist and anthropologist; deeper researches suggest he directed the Johannesburg Zoo, may be currently unaffiliated and writes about nature from a cottage on a cliff in Ireland.

 Salon Books | "Jacobson's Organ and the Remarkable Nature of Smell" by Lyall Watson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Lyall Watson's new book, "Jacobson's Organ and the Remarkable Nature of Smell," is a witty journey into the mysterious land of scent.
Whether we prefer the aroma of the unwashed or of the spray bottle, Watson argues, smell is the most provocative, sensual and misunderstood of the senses.
If Watson had kept his book to an exploration of the role of smell in social information, survival and emotions, it would be a compact, tantalizing olfactory travelogue.

 Amazon.com: Dark Nature: A Natural History of Evil: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Watson examines evil's many manifestations, from corporate national evil (e.g., the death camps of Nazi Germany) to shocking cases of personal evil (e.g., the two English boys who kidnapped and killed a toddler in 1993) to common street malevolence.
Watson does mention Aristotle as he relates to Watson's Goldilocks Principle of good and evil, "not too much, not too little, just right." I read on to the end and was engaged often by Watson's novel point of view.
Further, Watson states that a world without "evil" (defined as that which "is inimical to the 'goals' of survival of a certain species of individuals") would be-to use the eco-shibboleth of the moment-completely unsustainable.
