I?m looking for a description of each of our five (5) senses (smell,
taste, hear, touch, see).
The description I?m looking for has to follow the following description:
1. It has to be very simplistic ? yet cover the most important aspects
2. It has to be fascinating, engaging and not turn ?non medical readers? off.
3. It has to use pictures, analogies, parallels to other ?well known?
phenomena in its description making it easy (yet interesting) reading.
4. Each of the 5 descriptions has to be relatively short ? between 200
and 500 words.
I guess the more fascinating the copy is the better ? as my goal is to
ensure that my readers still is prepared to read this description
without finding it boring.
Depending on the quality of what you find I?ll pay you an extra bonus
of up to US$ 30.
An additional bonus of US$ 10 will be paid out if you are able to find
a copy about how our senses have been used to protect the human
through history (heat, poisoning etc.). Again this copy has to follow
the above criteria.
Good luck,
Martin |

Hello gilgunn,
Thanks for your comment.
Your feedback is good but not perfect. The only point I can use is
your second link. I am however looking for a more "facinating" or
"engaging" description of our senses. A description which is so
facinating that you can't stop reading it....if you get what I mean?
The reward is still there ...waiting for you if you manage to come up
with something good.
All the best,
martin

Hi Martin,
I was unable to find exactly what you are seeking. I'm going ahead and
posting all I found, in hopes it will be at least of some help! So,
yes, this question WAS tricky! While I found the information I found
to be rather interesting, I found it far from *fascinating* - but
maybe that's just me!
