David Buss updates his classic study of the origin of human mating behavior with fascinating new research. If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships?

This small, condensed book provides an excellent introduction to pharmacology...valuable to new pharmacology students, and also to students and specialists of other disciplines who require a fast understanding of mechanisms and clinical uses of drugs...Its conciseness and clarity is aided by clear, explanatory diagrams...the author's aims was to provide an introduction to the sciences of pharmacology..., to my mind, these aims have been achieved very well.
Ghastly kids is a loose expression - ghastliness is possible at any age. In Rix we have an apt student of Saki. His candidates for ghostly enterprise are children who are lazy, stubborn or downright malicious. For such a cast, the narrator is especially felicitous.

Such goings-on are not recommended for the faint- or tender-hearted. The rest of us can giggle and gasp contentedly.
