The Red Queen - Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature

Summary

Referring to Lewis Carroll's Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass, a character who has to keep running to stay in the same place, Matt Ridley demonstrates why sex is humanity's best strategy for outwitting its constantly mutating internal predators. The Red Queen answers dozens of other riddles of human nature and culture -- including why men propose marriage, the method behind our maddening notions of beauty, and the disquieting fact that a woman is more likely to conceive a child by an adulterous lover than by her husband. Brilliantly written, The Red Queen offers an extraordinary new way of interpreting the human condition and how it has evolved.

    The groundbreaking, scientifically based anti-aging program for people of all ages 
    Many people believe that sags, bags, and wrinkles—on the face and body—are inevitable. According to award-winning research scientist and dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., they are due to inflammation at the cellular level caused by poor nutrition, pollution, sunlight, irritating skin care treatments, and stress. In fact, this type of inflammation is more than a beauty problem; it can lead to increased likelihood of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis.  
     Now you can prevent—and even reverse—many signs of aging, producing visible improvement in the skin, and in your body’s overall health and appearance. Step by step, Dr. Perricone shows you how to improve your health, looks, and well-being, providing:  
    • A three-day “jump start” diet that will give you immediate results 
    • The 28-day Perricone Program of meals, exercise, and skin care 
    • A complete resource guide 
    • And much more!

    Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau’s life for two years, two months, and two days around the shores of Walden Pond.  Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. Along with his critique of the civilized world, Thoreau examines other issues afflicting man in society, ranging from economy and reading to solitude and higher laws. He also takes time to talk about the experience at Walden Pond itself, commenting on the animals and the way people treated him for living there, using those experiences to bring out his philosophical positions. This extended commentary on nature has often been interpreted as a strong statement to the natural religion that transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson were preaching.
