Love, Sex, and Intimacy: Their Psychology, Biology, and History

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!
