Sex Differences in Children: The Continuing Quest to Understand and Modify Them

摘要

As Lise Eliot [2009] writes on the opening page of Pink Brain, Blue Brain, '[S]ex is a big deal. Not just the act of it, but the fact of it' (p. 1). This simple statement - its readability, its catchiness, its accuracy - is a harbinger of the next 315 pages. The book is filled with material likely to engage almost any reader, feminist or traditionalist, academician or layperson. Do not be fooled by the gorgeous cover or by the powerful anecdotes into thinking that this is just another popular book for the mass market.
