Description: To research the differences in how men and women think, the authors traveled the globe collecting an extensive range of material. They synthesized the latest findings on brain function, examined the current state of evolutionary biology, analyzed the opinions of psychologists, studied social change, and interviewed relevant experts around the world. The result is a book that is shocking, fascinating, and often hilarious — one that reveals exactly where the battle lines between men and women lie, why they formed, and how to cross them.
