Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation: The Definitive
Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex
Olivia Judson
(Chatto & Windus)
Ever wondered why some women bite your head off, or why
one guy gets all the girls? Ever pondered why some men bring
you balloons while others leave you their genitals? Dr
Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation is the book for
you.
Quirky, entertaining and brilliant, Dr Tatiana, the racy
new agony aunt, explains all this and much more. She discloses
the best time to have a sex change, how to have a virgin
birth, when to seduce your sisters or eat your lover. In
giving her solutions, she explains the evolutionary biology
of sex, from Darwin’s theory of sexual selection to
why sexual reproduction exists at all.
This book is a fusion of science and natural history, a
blend of wit and rigour that will fascinate and inform.
