"In this utterly fascinating follow-up to her bestsellingThe Female Brain, Harvard neuropsychiatrist Brizendine leads readers through the lifespan of a man's brain, using lively prose and personable anecdotes to turn complex scientific research into a highly accessible romp. Among other salient info, readers will learn why it is what young boys seem unable to stay still (they are learning through "embodied cognition"); why behaviors may change so suddenly during puberty (among other changes, testosterone increases 20-fold); the nature of irritability in teens ("boys' hormones prime them for aggressive and territorial behaviors"); and the ways in which chemicals, physical touch, and play bond fathers with their children. With clearly detailed scientific explanations for how characteristics like anger expression, analysis of facial expression, and spatial manipulation differ between the sexes, Brizendine's review of brain and behavioral research should net a broad audience, from parents of boys to psychology students to fans of her first volume. Brizendine also includes an appendix regarding the brain and sexual orientation, as well as lengthy endnotes and an exhaustive reference list."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "As a woman who has known complicated men her whole life, I can't help but wishThe Male Brainhad been around when I was a girl. Dr. Louann Brizendine's lucid, lively, and always fascinating discussion of how the male brain works (and why) has enlightened me in more ways than I can count. Now I can't wait to give the book to all my women friends." -Jane Fonda, actress and author ofMy Life So Far "Dr. Brizendine has marshaled a host of impressive data and insights and presented them in an elegant and entertaining way to clearly illustrate men's reality--as infants, boys, teens, lovers, husbands, fathers and workers. It's a deep dive into the worlds of men, as well as a fascinating read. And along the way, you will pick up some valuable tips to help you understand, appreciate and connect with the men in your life." --Helen Fisher, Ph.D., author ofWhy Him? Why Her?

Synopsis
From the author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Female Brain, here is the eagerly awaited follow-up book that demystifies the puzzling male brain. Dr. Louann Brizendine, the founder of the first clinic in the country to study gender differences in brain, behavior, and hormones, turns her attention to the male brain, showing how, through every phase of life, the "male reality" is fundamentally different from the female one. Exploring the latest breakthroughs in male psychology and neurology with her trademark accessibility and candor, she reveals that the male brain: -is a lean, mean, problem-solving machine. Faced with a personal problem, a man will use his analytical brain structures, not his emotional ones, to find a solution. -thrives under competition, instinctively plays rough and is obsessed with rank and hierarchy. -has an area for sexual pursuit that is 2.5 times larger than the female brain, consuming him with sexual fantasies about female body parts. -experiences such a massive increase in testosterone at puberty that he perceive others' faces to be more aggressive. The Male Brain finally overturns the stereotypes. Impeccably researched and at the cutting edge of scientific knowledge, this is a book that every man, and especially every woman bedeviled by a man, will need to own.

- a***s (227)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis was almost a great transaction. The book was described pretty well and the price was reasonable. However this large, heavy, century-old book was packaged in an envelope with minimal padding and unfortunately suffered a few bumps. It's a nice book that in my opinion deserved better treatment. However I didn't check with the seller whether they ship in a box, and the book got off more lightly than some I've received, so we'll call this a win.
- b***b (169)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOutstanding! Book received was exactly as described in listing…no unpleasant surprises!👍 Communication with seller was cordial and focused on creating a transaction beneficial for seller and buyer…no winner, no loser, both satisfied. Fair final price. This is the way EBay should always work. I would enjoy buying from this seller again.THE DAY MAN LOST: HIROSHIMA, 6 AUGUST 1945~1ST/DJ~NICE COPY (#363506747312)
