Further Details Title: The Science of Romance Condition: New Description: Have you ever wondered why divorce is so much more common now than a century ago? Why the sex appeal of certain body types and clothing styles changes so dramatically over time? Why so many liberated young women today prefer emotional commitment from men while their male counterparts seem always more interested in 'sowing their wild oats'? According to evolutionary psychologist Nigel Barber, each of these aspects of modern life reflects two million years of hominid evolution. In "The Science of Romance" he explains that much of our present behaviour can be traced back to the ancient evolved motives of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. In short, we exhibit the behaviours that have evolved over millennia to increase the reproductive success of the species. Also drawing on the mating behaviour of various animals, Barber finds illuminating comparisons that help to explain human actions and reactions.Barber delves into a host of interesting topics: dating competition and aggression; female courtship signals that subtly manipulate male behaviour; how exposure to different sex hormones shapes the evolving brain in utero, which may account for the different behaviours of men and women; and much more.This absorbing book educates and entertains, while showing that many seemingly irrational aspects of our intimate romantic behaviour make sense when understood in terms of our prehistoric ancestors and evolution.

I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.
Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.
The item’s appearance is much better than I expected. The physical condition is exactly as described in the listing. In my honest opinion, the quality of this item makes this the perfect addition to my collection. The value of this transaction was increased due to the seller’s prompt responses in securely packaging and shipping the item. Thank you for the opportunity to purchase this! I highly recommend this seller and I’ve added the seller to my Follow List.
