"A remarkable book: it is probably the first encompassing attempt of merging sociobiological theory with the observations and descriptions -- as rendered so far mainly by psychology, psychiatry, ethnography and social anthropology -- of one particular aspect of human life, the ... concept of secuality. ... This well-indexed and referenced volume ... indicate[s] interesting ways in which sociobiology may benefit the social and clinical sciences." --Journal of Human Evolution. "Intelligent, intellectually stimulating, and even intellectually reesponsible." --Contemporary Sociology
