About this title

Review

'Fascinating and often brilliant ... Aimed at a popular readership and lavishly illustrated, it comes up with much of its best material in little boxed off sections.' Humphrey Carpenter, The Sunday Times

'... a comprehensive and fascinating study ... he is to be congratulated for so elegantly opening up this world.' Expository Times

'... a tour de force.' Helen Fisher, The Quarterly Review of Biology

'This is the kind of book that has already generated great discussions among my friends and associates. It will make a wonderful gift, even for those with no more than a passing interest in biology or science. The authors are to be congratulated for having put together a book that that is at once thought-provoking, entertaining, and sumptuously attractive.' Abraham Morgentaler, The Lancet

Book Description

A lively and entertaining account of the broad panorama of human sexual behaviour which reveals our actions to be an inextricable mixture of nature and nurture - a combination of innate actions evolved over the millenia, overlain by more recent cultural constraints imposed by civilization.
