The Senses - November 2005	£ 5
Just think of the amazing part our senses play in our everyday lives! You use your senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste to create a picture of the world inside your head. But how does the brain interpret messages from our sense organs? We'll show you how the brain can sometimes get it wrong! In this edition of AQUILA find out about perfume, starting from early Egyptian times. How is it made today? And did you know there are 'notes' in perfume? There are some tips on making some pot pourri from the roses in your garden, and Polly Chrome shows how to make pomanders - oranges with cloves pressed into them - lovely for Christmas! Harvey shows the 2005 Young Wildlife Photographer competition winners, and EB looks at the question of the 'Rights' of children around the world. Get to know Sherlock Holmes, the fictional Victorian detective, created by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Also this month, part two of the Great Aquila Treasure Hunt, and part three of the serial 'Hands on History' by Scott Brown. Look out for all the usual quizzes and puzzles, letters, reviews and jokes.
