The Scientific American Book of Love, Sex and the Brain: The Neuroscience of How, When, Why and Who We LoveWho do we love? Who loves us? And why?

Who do we love? Who loves us? And why? Is love really a mystery, or can neuroscience offer some answers to these age-old questions?

In her third enthralling book about the brain, Judith Horstman takes us on a lively tour of our most important sex and love organ and the whole smorgasbord of our many kinds of love-from the bonding of parent and child to the passion of erotic love, the affectionate love of companionship, the role of animals in our lives, and the love of God.

Drawing on the latest neuroscience, she explores why and how we are born to love-how we're hardwired to crave the companionship of others, and how very badly things can go without love. Among the findings: parental love makes our brain bigger, sex and orgasm make it healthier, social isolation makes it miserable-and although the craving for romantic love can be described as an addiction, friendship may actually be the most important loving relationship of your life.

Based on recent studies and articles culled from the prestigious Scientific American and Scientific American Mind magazines, The Scientific American Book of Love, Sex, and the Brain offers a fascinating look at how the brain controls our loving relationships, most intimate moments, and our deep and basic need for connection.

Looks great and holds firm.
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7 inch
Looks great in my bathroom. Great functionality and good quality shelving and frame. I wouldn't stack an Encyclopedia Britanica on it, but it will solidly hold bathroom items with no problem. I added a couple of motion-activated rechargeable light on each side of this unit and it really looks great while serving a very practical purpose.

Nice shelves
Color: Black, Size: 15.7 inch, Color: Black, Size: 15.7 inch
My son has a small bedroom & not a lot of storage, so I was looking for something to hold his cologne & hair products, etc. I know these are ‘bathroom shelves’, but the black went well with his room decor. They look great & are exactly what he needed. They were easy to install & seem stable. The only slightly negative thing is the quality of the shelf part. It’s a cheap mdf-type material & had a couple areas that had the black paint scratched off, but it was so minor I’m fine with it. They look nice & have an industrial look, which is great for a boys room.
