This book contains very exhaustive material on the natural history and mechanics of love and relationships in humans, with references to extensive research in neurosciences, psychology, sociology and biological personality: how did the love instinct evolve; how do we choose our partners; why are some more predisposed to adultery than others; to what extent do men and women resemble or not in terms of love; slow love, love and the Internet etc.
