Hormonal
Autor Martie Haseltonen Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2018
Did you know that at certain times of the month, women are inclined to dance more? Flirt more? Or that PMS may have evolved to remove boyfriends with unfit sperm? Why? Hormones.
Hormones help women choose mates, produce healthy offspring, raise them successfully, and, ultimately, make better decisions.
In this paradigm-shifting book, Martie Haselton explains how hormonal intelligence works – both its strengths and its weaknesses – and how women can track and understand their desires, fears and perceptions. By exploring the biological processes that profoundly influence our behaviour, Hormonalsets forth a radical, new understanding of women's bodies, one that sees hormonal cycles as adaptive solutions to genuine biological challenges.
This book will empower women everywhere to embrace their biology.

Recenzii
"What a refreshing book. Finally, a feminist with the courage to discuss women not as victims of their hormones but as elegantly built captains of their minds and lives. In this solidly scientific yet graceful book, Haselton shows how women's evolved hormonal activities help them shop for Mr. Right, compete with rivals, and raise healthy, productive young. Hormonal also informs on vital current issues-from bearing babies in middle age to taking hormone supplements in later life. This is the real story of women. It's an honest, accurate, important, and captivating read.—Helen Fisher, author of The First Sex and Why We Love
"Martie Haselton has written the book many of us have been waiting for: a genuinely feminist exploration of what we know about how our hormones shape the way we feel, love, and behave. I thought I knew a lot about the biology she covers, but Haselton gave me a much deeper understanding of our sexual and reproductive lives. Whether you're wanting to understand your hormonal teenager, your life as a college student, your desire to protect your babies, your sexual peaks and valleys, or how we women just keep developing sexually into our sixties and on, this is the book for you. With lively prose and healthy skepticism, Haselton takes us a fascinating tour of our hormones."
—Alice Dreger, author of Galileo's Middle Finger
"Hormonal is a brilliant book. It takes readers on a fascinating journey through the hidden molecules that influence women's bodies and minds. Anchored in deep science, Haselton takes the reader on a mesmerizing tour from the stirrings of puberty to the aftermath of menopause, from sexual fantasies to the ways in which women often call the shots in the game of mating. Required reading for all who seek to understand the hidden forces of hormones. It shows how all women are linked to a long and unbroken chain of wise ancestral mothers, and how modern women can control their own mating destinies."—David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire
"A book about the effects of hormones on the behavior of female rodents might be dull, but it would not be controversial. Substitute humans for rodents, and prepare for a storm. In Hormonal, Haselton takes on this challenge and explores the complex roles that hormones play in women's lives as we choose our mates, cultivate our relationships, rear our children, and transition to menopause. Written with passion and wit, Hormonal provides important insights about the female experience."—Joan Silk, professor, School of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University, and coauthor of How Humans Evolved
"Written by a leader in her field, Hormonal beautifully exposes the powerful and unrecognized influence hormones play in our lives. The book is essential reading for both women and men interested in a deeper understanding of the influences contributing to our choices and preferences. Hormonal is engaging, clever, very funny at times, and always scientifically impeccable."—Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD, coauthor of Zoobiquity
"Women and men are different -- in all sorts of ways. And yet discussing these differences has become taboo. Happily, there are still courageous scientists who will not let a moral panic stand in the way of their intellectual interests. In Hormonal, Martie Haselton gives us a brave and fascinating tour of what we know we know about sex differences, but are often afraid to discuss. Read it, whether or not you have a uterus."—Sam Harris, author of five New York Times bestsellers and host of the Waking Up podcast
"A smart and engaging scientific story about the amazing molecules that drive our behavior."—Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness
"Deep, thoughtful, and eye-opening, this book teaches us that the more we know about hormones, the more we can manage our lives."—
