  Sex, after hunger, may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don't we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn't everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love? 
   
   
   
  In Attraction, Love, Sex, Simon LeVay introduces listeners to a memorable cast of researchers trying to answer these questions and many more. A biologist dredges a New Zealand lake for asexual mud snails. Psychologists measure whether eating a good meal changes a man's idea of female beauty. Physiologists place lovers in brain scanners. Geneticists reconstruct the sex crimes of Genghis Khan. Neuroscientists create mice whose sexual behavior can be switched on and off. A zoologist traps and releases 260,000 voles and launches a new science of love. 
   
   
   
  LeVay distills vast expertise on the biology and psychology of sex into an engaging and easy-to-understand survey. This book reveals how scientists are unraveling the secrets of sex and, in the process, shattering many traditional ideas and prejudices.

  Developing Mobile Apps - From...

  The mobile app industry has rapidly evolved over the past decade, shaping how people interact with technology daily. With millions of apps available across various platforms, understanding the mobile app landscape is crucial for anyone looking to develop a successful application. This chapter explores the different types of mobile apps, emerging trends in app development, and the factors to consider when choosing the right platform for your project. 
  Mobile applications generally fall into three main categories: native apps, web apps, and hybrid apps. Native apps are built specifically for a particular operating system, such as iOS or Android, using platform-specific programming languages like Swift or Kotlin. They offer high performance, seamless integration with device features, and a superior user experience. Web apps, on the other hand, run on web browsers and are built using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. While they are accessible across devices, they lack the speed and functionality of native apps. Hybrid apps combine elements of both native and web applications, using frameworks like React Native or Flutter to develop cross-platform solutions that work on multiple operating systems with a single codebase. 
  As mobile technology advances, several trends continue to shape the app development industry. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being integrated into apps to provide personalized user experiences, from virtual assistants to predictive analytics. Augmented reality and virtual reality have also gained traction, particularly in gaming, retail, and education. Another significant trend is the rise of 5G technology, which enables faster data transfer, lower latency, and enhanced app performance.
