520 1 $a"When The Myth of Monogamy was published in 2001, David P. Barash and Judith Eve Lipton stunned the public by making the case that monogamy is extremely rare in the animal world; that it simply isn't "natural" - for animals or for human beings. The response was dramatic: fascination mixed with outrage; vindication for some, apoplexy for others. The Myth of Monogamy clearly touched a nerve: If monogamy is unnatural, is it hopeless? Is infidelity inevitable? And what about the paradox of a happily married husband-and-wife writing that monogamy is in any sense a "myth"?" "In Strange Bedfellows, the sequel to The Myth of Monogamy, the authors answer these questions and in the process, reassure and empower anyone nervous about his or her monogamous future. The book examines how biology, despite its predisposition against monogamy, also leaves substantial room for it; how monogamy works among those animal species that engage in it; and how such "natural lessons" might be applied to human beings. And how, when it comes to love and marriage, biology is not destiny. Unlike other species, we can overcome our biological urges - and are at our most human when we do so."--BOOK JACKET.
