description: In Sexual Selection , James and Carol Gould survey the many mating systems and strategies practised by species ranging from microorganisms through insects and birds to humans. The authors begin by questioning why sex is necessary and present the most popular theories that attempt to explain, "Why sex?" "The Goulds write clearly yet with authority...Their book will do nicely for students and others with an interest in the subject." Nature
