This book exposes the barriers, stigma and discrimination that disabled academics face daily, overtly and covertly, in a profession we are passionate about�. Dr Hamied Haroon, Chair, National Association of Disabled Staff Networks (NADSN) Gayle Brewer is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Liverpool, UK. Her research interests focus on personality and romantic relationships, and she also conducts research addressing education and the student experience.

Recent research has highlighted the importance of female physical attractiveness, particularly with regards to romantic relationships and sexual behaviour. However, researchers have often failed to distinguish between self-rated attractiveness and other objective measures such as body mass index. The book outlines four studies, investigating the extent to which women can accurately assess their own physical attractiveness or the attractiveness of a potential rival; the manner in which female attractiveness influences the selection of a sexual strategy; and how male or female perceptions of a person's personality are influenced by her attractiveness. The work helps to distinguish between the contribution of objective and subjective physical attractiveness to sexual behaviour and the perception of an individual. The book is of particular relevance to those with an interest in physical attractiveness, body image, person perception or female sexual behaviour.
