The Most Un-Textbook-Like Textbook
5 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
This is the most untextbook-like textbook I've ever seen,and I mean that as a high compliment. First, it looks at its subject--love, sex, and intimacy--from a huge variety of perspectives: psychology, poetry, philosophy, biology, primatology, anthropology, literature, and history. Second, it is written personally, vividly, and enjoyably. Third, the illustrations, charts, and cartoons are not only helpful, but great fun. And, finally, the authors show themselves as distinct personalities, lending this authoritative synthesis of what is known about love a real humanity. Hats off!

The least-Textbook like Textbook
7 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
The argument advanced in this book completely lacks any trace of evidence or logic. The authors muddle and confuse many disciplines without ever pursuing a single perspective to its conclusion. They speak about topics they clearly have not researched and attempt to build credibility with the reader by inserting familiar quotations conveniently removed from context. In summation, reading this book will only prove a detriment to your intellectual and emotional faculties.
