Sex Signals: The Biology of Love
This book is basically a study of courtship. Perper, a biologist, reports the results of his analysis of interviews with men and women and observations of couples in bars. He attempts to show that there is a biological basis to the way that women and men meet and fall in love. Although Perper indicates that the book is intended for an audience "including laypeople unfamiliar with biology," the book's scholarly citations, length, and theoretical analysis suggest it will appeal to the more serious reader. This book is more substantial but less lucid than Heather Trexler Remoff's Sexual Choice ( LJ 1/85). It should be a useful addition to academic and large public library collections.
