Love at first sight . . . hooking up . . . jealousy . . . adultery.. . . Helen Fisher explains it all in this thought-provokinganthropological view of human sexual and romantic behavior.Examining marriage and divorce in fifty-eight societies,infidelity in forty-two cultures, and new national studies ofsingles in America, she argues that we are returning to patternsof sex, romance, love, and attachment that echo ourancient past. This classic book has been updated throughoutto include her revolutionary work on the brain in love,love addictions, and why we are biologically drawn to specificpartners, and includes a new chapter on future sex.

With fresh research backing her original findings,Helen Fisher brings this landmark work to a new audience.

Arvustused

"...ground-breaking..." -- The Times "Fisher weaves a persuasive and consistently surprising new explanation of the roots of human marriage, sex, and love. Her account cuts more deeply than the ordinary literature on human sexuality." -- Edward O. Wilson
