| Description: | Select Guide Rating Tells the story of how human sexuality has developed over time. This title helps readers find out the answers to such provocative questions as: can the birth control pill influence the type of men women are attracted to; what do men and honeybees have in common when it comes to sex; and, why do hourglass-shaped women tend to be especially fertile. “Read this book and discover sex again, but from a scientific perspective, and see why it evolved. It’s almost as much fun, and needs less energy.” "How Sex Works manages to inject science writing with the prurient thrill of a gossip rag." Medical maverick and New York Times bestselling author of Survival of the Sickest Dr. Sharon Moalem presents an insightful and engaging voyage through the surprising history and evolution of sexual reproduction. Fans of Freakonomics, Blink, You: The Owner’s Manual, and Why Do Men Have Nipples will find many engaging insights in How Sex Works. |
