From a noted science journalist comes a wonderfully witty
and fascinating exploration of how and why we kiss. When did humans begin to kiss? Why is kissing integral to
some cultures and alien to others? Do good kissers make the
best lovers? And is that expensive lip-plumping gloss worth
it? Sheril Kirshenbaum, a biologist and science journalist,
tackles these questions and more in THE SCIENCE OF KISSING.
It's everything you always wanted to know about kissing but
either haven't asked, couldn't find out, or didn't realize
you should understand. The book is informed by the latest
studies and theories, but Kirshenbaum's engaging voice gives
the information a light touch. Topics range from the kind of
kissing men like to do (as distinct from women) to what
animals can teach us about the kiss to whether or not the
true art of kissing was lost sometime in the Dark Ages.
Drawing upon classical history, evolutionary biology,
psychology, popular culture, and more, Kirshenbaum's winning
book will appeal to romantics and armchair scientists alike.
