具體描述
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

評分给一个没有科学常识的人解释科学研究成果，这大概是世界上最难的事情之一。其难度不亚于教会老妈如何使用计算机除了QQ农场以外的功能——你得不断停下来解释一些你认为对方应该知道但其实对方完全不知道的东西；一不小心就得从三百年前开始讲起、讲到第二百年、对方又把前一百...
評分以科学/生物学的角度来阐述人类世界永恒的主题 --- 爱（两性之间的爱） 虽然听上去，很冰冷，一点都不浪漫； 但是，当你轻松地去读时，你会发现真的很好玩。 人类的爱分成三个阶段：lust, romatic love & attachment，而这一切的process都是由我们的大脑里的化学物质所导致...

评分一般般
评分沒看太懂，有種感覺Fisher企圖用比較客觀的角度來寫love，所以她列舉很多實驗和調查。但是人文類的實驗影響因子太多瞭，不是很有說服力，nice try...
