- Summary
- This is a fascinating book on our gender and sexual rituals and preferences, written by a sexologist from a sociobiological perspective. Organized as a series of provocative puzzles or questions on such subjects as male-female differences, homosexuality, transsexualism, and courtship rituals, it offers a refreshing new perspective, part Mendelian genetics, part common sense.
