Is romantic love a creation of troubadours and poets, or has it deep evolutionary roots? Is the seven-year itch really the four-year itch? Does true love betray itself in a brain scanner? With the eyes of an anthropologist and the voice of a poet, Helen Fisher lays bare the many worlds and ages of erotic love. And she knows whereof she speaks., Much has changed in the landscape of love and dating since the first edition of anthropologist Fisher's Anatomy of Lovewas published over 20 years ago...[and Fisher] presents plenty of new data...The recent success of comedian Aziz Ansari and sociologist Eric Klinenberg's Modern Romance (2015) suggests readers might be looking for further, more serious reading on the topic: Fisher's book and its hundreds upon hundreds of cited sources won't disappoint them., Much has changed in the landscape of love and dating since the first edition of anthropologist Fisher's Anatomy of Love was published over 20 years ago . . . [and Fisher] presents plenty of new data. . . . The recent success of comedian Aziz Ansari and sociologist Eric Klinenberg's Modern Romance (2015) suggests readers might be looking for further, more serious reading on the topic: Fisher's book and its hundreds upon hundreds of cited sources won't disappoint them., A natural history filled with entertaining and informative anecdotes and narratives that offer context and background...Highly recommended to readers interested in human sexuality., Our conversations with Helen Fisher were crucial to understanding the current romantic climate. This revised version of Anatomy of Love is a great read for anyone interested in understanding love and romance. Also, Helen was kind enough to blurb our book, so we'd be real dicks not to do the same for her. Luckily, her work is fantastic and no moral dilemma has been posed., A natural history filled with entertaining and informative anecdotes and narratives that offer context and background. . . . Highly recommended to readers interested in human sexuality., Answers all those puzzling questions that caused yourmother (or priest or guidance counselor or gym teacher) toblame God and/or hormones., Fisher weaves a persuasive and consistently surprisingnew explanation of the roots of human marriage, sex, andlove., This book is a marvel. I eagerly read everything Helen Fisher writes. She is a national treasure. So illuminating!, For journalists around the world, Helen Fisher has been the go-to authority on love and heartache since the first edition of Anatomy of Love. No one else knows the human heart so well--or explains it with such wit and style., Fisher weaves a persuasive and consistently surprising new explanation of the roots of human marriage, sex, and love. Her account cuts more deeply than the ordinary literature on human sexuality.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
