The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human MatingIf we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from thirty seven cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior.

If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from thirty-seven cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior. Drawing on a wide range of examples of mating behavior--from lovebugs to elephant seals, from the Yanomamo tribe of Venezuela to online dating apps--Buss reveals what women want, what men want, and why their desires radically differ. Love has a central place in human sexual psychology, but conflict, competition, and manipulation also pervade human mating--something we must confront in order to control our own mating destiny.

Fully revised and updated to reflect the very latest scientific research on human mating, this classic work of evolutionary psychology explains the powerful forces that shape our most intimate desires.

All-Day Comfort for 10+ Hour Workdays. Finally Found a Pair That Holds Up
Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black, Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black
After years of trying different “comfortable” dress shoes, this is the first pair I’ve owned that I can wear for a full 10+ hour workday without counting down the minutes to take them off. For context, I’m a retail district manager. I’m on my feet most of the day walking stores, standing in conversations, moving constantly. I’ve owned Clarks, Rockport, and even higher-end dress shoes, and while some started out comfortable, none of them held up for an entire day without foot fatigue setting in. These Cole Haan shoes are different. What stands out: All-day comfort: No mid-day foot pain, even after long shifts. Solid construction: Genuine leather that takes and holds a polish well. Supportive sole: Noticeably helps with impact from constant walking. Great value: Performs better than shoes I’ve paid significantly more for. I also appreciate that they hit a nice middle ground stylistically; more business casual than formal, but still sharp enough for most professional environments. For additional context, I am a heavier individual and tend to wear down the outer (lateral) edge of my shoes first. That pattern holds true here as well. The only drawback: After about two months of wearing them 5 days a week (purchased January 7th), the sole shows more wear than I would expect at this point. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s the reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. I’ll be including a comparison photo between the worn pair and a new pair for reference. That said, I still expect to get around 8–10 months of use out of them, which at this price point is more than fair. Bottom line: If you need a comfortable, reliable, and reasonably priced work shoe for long days on your feet, these outperform just about everything else I’ve tried, and that’s why I bought a second pair.
