Targeting an area of research that has long been dominated by “Western” scientists, Elaine Hatfield and Richard L. Rapson tell a new and updated story of love and sex in the modern world. With the advent of technology that is progressively “shrinking” our global community, the authors aim to assess how intimate relationships are carried out in a wide array of societies. The approach is multidisciplinary and cross-cultural, appealing to students of psychology, anthropology, sociology, history, literature, and art. A strong research base and an appealing narrative style characterize this ideal supplementary text.

  • Multidisciplinary, multicultural approach allies the text to many different types of courses, making valuable contributions to each.
  • Hundreds of references reflect the book's strong scholarly foundation.
  • Subject matter is engaging and the authors write with visible enthusiasm.
  • Tables, graphs, and cartoons help to draw together many types information and provide excellent material for class discussions.
