Buss, Ph.D., University of Texas at Austin, From the Foreword "Like many central areas of human behavior that have been neglected by mainstream psychology, the thoughts and emotions behind mating haverecently been illuminated by evolutionary analyses. This excitingcollection marks the debut of a new and important field of research, which should fascinate psychologists and nonpsychologists alike." - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University "A significant contribution to the field, combining in one source, material on an interesting and important topic." - Dennis Krebs, Ph.D., Simon Fraser University "A 'must have' for scholars who do research on human mating ?a unique volume of cutting edge thinking on the psychology of mating." - Timothy Ketelaar, Ph.D.,New Mexico State University
