具体描述
Helen Fisher's courageous investigations of romantic love -- its evolution, its biochemical foundations and its vital importance to human society -- are informing and transforming the way we understand ourselves. Fisher describes love as a universal human drive (stronger than the sex drive; stronger than thirst or hunger; stronger perhaps than the will to live), and her many areas of inquiry shed light on timeless human mysteries, like why we choose one partner over another.
Almost unique among scientists, Fisher explores the science of love without losing a sense of romance: Her work frequently invokes poetry, literature and art -- along with scientific findings -- helping us appreciate our love affair with love itself. In her research, and in books such as Anatomy of Love and 2004's Why We Love, Fisher looks at questions with real impact on modern life. Her latest research raises serious concerns about the widespread, long-term use of antidepressants, which may undermine our natural process of attachment by tampering with hormone levels in the brain.
"In hands as skilled and sensitive as Fisher's, scientific analysis of love only adds to its magic."
Scientific American

评分 评分费舍尔干了件很煞风景的事情，偏要把爱情这么浪漫的东西，试图用生物学去探寻其运作原理，把本该浪漫美妙的情爱之美转换为枯燥冰冷的工程机器。然而人类有别于其他物种的最大特征，就是在动物吸引与繁殖生存的本能之外，消耗在情爱上的惊人热情。首先要相信动物也是有爱情的，...
