Among academics who teach introductory courses in evolutionary psychology, this is widely agreed to be the leading textbook. Dr. David Buss was "there at the beginning," a few decades ago, has been a productive and respected scholar. He has been an academic leader in organizations relevant to this important field of study. This book is comprehensive, interesting to read, and readable. Although a university-type textbook, it is accessible to any reader who Is interested in an in-depth treatment of this field of study. For those who want a quicker overview of this topic, there are many good books for the general public. One very good example, although a bit dated, is "The Moral Animal" by journalist and author Robert Wright.

This book is a gold mine. The author explores deeply the evolutionary and psychological mechanisms that lead to our attitudes in the 21st century. Particularly interesting for understanding the long and short term strategies of both sexes. Also, there are pictures, charts, boxes and sidebars; all items that make the reading much more intuitive than in traditional books. Not only is it useful for studying purpose, but also for every-day life. Conclusion: This book is worth every € you'll invest in for. Bonus: I had a little problem with taxes that the seller helped me fix very quickly.

Kitap elime geçti. Basım kalitesi güzel, dili akıcı, kitaptaki resimlerin çoğu renkli fakat önemsiz olanları renksiz basmışlar (yazarın resmi, bazı grafikler, görece psikoloji için önemsiz görseller vsvs. ). David emminin ingilizcesini biraz ortalama üstü bir ingilizceniz varsa anlamakta zorlanacağınızı düşünmüyorum. Psikoloji ile ilgilenenlerin kesinlikle elinin altında bulunması lazım. Her ne kadar evrimsel psikolojiyi akademik camia içinde taşlasalar da, bu kitap insanların yönelimleri hakkında güzel bir bakış açısı sunacaktır. Fiyat konusuna gelirsek, kur farkından yüksek fiyatlandırılıyor, indirim zamanını kollarsanız 100-200 Tl ucuza kapatabilirsiniz.

There is a lot of criticism of evolutionary psychology, which is addressed in this book. It is of course an academic book, so I imagine not many people with a passing interest or dislike for EP will read it. However, the insights offered in this book are often amazing and offer crucial lines of enquiry. For example, while debates on sexual assault are unlikely to be comfortable, the information offered here can be useful in addressing the crime. Elsewhere, the insights on things like dominance in the workplace could have you immediately observing interactions in a new light. Anyway, it's written in a relatively easy to read style, organised and presented well, and deep in content. I highly recommend.
