About this title

Synopsis

A full-length investigation by the journalist who wrote the widely-read "Homosexuality and Biology" article for Atlantic Monthly updates readers on the latest findings in neurobiology, endocrinology, and genetics about the biological basis for sexual orientation. Tour.

Review

If there is one lesson to be taken away from reading this report on "the search for the biological origins of sexual orientation", it's that science at its best is always an ongoing process. Combining profiles of the top researchers of sexual orientation with straightforward explanations of the results of their experiments in neurobiology, genetics and other fields, Burr provides a fascinating glimpse of men and women for whom science is not the pursuit of definitive answers about the way things are, but the motivation for constant questions. He also gives them a voice to vent frustration at the ways their research has been misrepresented by non- scientists trying to fit objective data into subjective moral and ethical arguments.
