"Through a rich combination of psychology, neuroscience, literary readings, and cross-cultural and cross-species comparisons, Fisher seeks to define and understand love right down to the molecular level of the brain chemicals that produce it. This is an original and uniquely contemporary approach to a sensation that, for millennia, has been considered purely emotional."—The Washington Post Book World

"The most comprehensive and comprehensible account I have ever read of the brain chemistry of attachment. Read it and learn some of the most important lessons anyone can achieve: how and why we—and other living things—love."—David P. Barash, author of The Survival Game and The Myth of Monogamy

"Fone [writes] in exquisite detail with a masterful command of history, a balanced interpretation of contradictory documents, and an explosive set of assertions that fly against the conventional view of not just homophobes but of gay people themselves."—Michael Alvear, Salon

"Through a voice as plain as that of a single-reed instrument, [Galli] achieves an emotional resonance that swells with symphonic intensity . . . A huge story, unflinchingly told."—The New York Times Book Review

"Although parents know that the early years are learning years, just what that means has been confusing—until now. Einstein Never Used Flash Cards makes practical sense of the vast number of technical studies and the hyperbole of advertising claims.

This book is a must-read for parents, grandparents, teachers, caregivers, pediatricians, and policy makers—in other words, all those who care about (and for) the next generation of children."—Ellen Galinsky, president and cofounder of the Families and Work Institute in New York City
