About the Author: Sheril Kirshenbaum is a research scientist at The Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy at the University of Texas at Austin .
Drawing upon classical history, evolutionary biology, psychology, popular culture, and more, Kirshenbaum\'s winning book will appeal to romantics and armchair scientists alike.
Topics range from the kind of kissing men like to do (as distinct from women) to What animals can teach us about the kiss to whether or not the true art of kissing was lost sometime in the Dark Ages.
The book is informed by the latest studies and theories, but Kirshenbaum\'s engaging voice gives the information a light touch.
It\'s everything you always wanted to know about kissing but either haven\'t asked, couldn\'t find out, or didn\'t realize you should understand.
When did humans begin to kiss? Why is kissing integral to some cultures and alien to others? Do good kissers make the best lovers? And is that expensive lip-plumping gloss worth it? Sheril Kirshenbaum, a biologist and Science journalist, tackles these questions and more in THE Science OF KISSING.
