What is the first question our parents asked about us after we were
born? Probably, 'Is it a boy or a girl?' No single fact about us is
more significant than our sex. In any human culture, it determines
how others react to us and how they treat us. "Viva Le Difference",
a light-hearted exploration of sex differences, shows how this view
violates not only everyday experience and common sense, but the
accumulating evidence of science that men and women are profoundly
different creatures. Authors Anthony Walsh and Grace J. Walsh begin
with a look at the genetic and hormonal bases of sex by viewing
maleness and femaleness as a continuum based on the degree of
masculisation of the brain. Next, they explore different sexual
aspects of the human body other than the reproductive organs. They
look at size, strength, and endurance, and many other differences
in capacity, as well as sensory (eyes, nose, ears, etc.)
differences. From there, the discussion focuses on differences in
the brain and mind, health and illness among men and women, and the
different ways in which men and women experience emotion, with an
emphasis on that most intense emotion of all - love. Informative
and entertaining, this book offers a fresh, insightful, and lively
look at what makes men and women unique.
